AIIMS marks global first with robotic surgery

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Wednesday claimed to have performed world's first robotic surgery to remove a tumour in the bladder, which was leading to hypertension in a patient. The surgery was performed on Tuesday and doctors said that patient's blood pressure was normal after the surgery. "He is recovering well and will be ready to leave for home in two to three days," said NP Gupta, Head, Department of Urology, AIIMS. He said that in normal surgery long incision are required and the patient takes up to ten days to recover.

Robotic Surgery Extends Benefits to Bladder Cancer Patients

Robotic surgery, largely pioneered for prostate cancer surgery, is rapidly being adapted for use in other areas, including for bladder cancer patients. Urologic surgeons at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center now have significant experience -- and have demonstrated considerable success -- with robotics for removal of the bladder, also known as cystectomy.

Injections To Replace Heart Surgery?

chareverie writes "Researchers at Harvard University have been working towards a goal of replacing some types of heart surgery with injections of cells that would grow into blood vessels for damaged hearts. The cells that would be used are progenitor cells obtained from the blood or bone marrow, as opposed to stem cells that are obtained from human embryos. The research team was successful with their tests on growing heart blood vessels in mice. Joyce Bishoff, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard and senior author of the report, says, 'Our next goal down the line is to use them in humans.' She also notes that more studies need to be done on animals to see how these cells would react and behave with other types of tissues. A similar human experiment was done two years ago in Germany, during which a few people from a group of 75 he
