Robot-assisted surgery has revolutionized the way cancer is treated by allowing doctors to perform minimally invasive procedures with greater control, reducing patient recovery time and complications.

Furthermore, robotic surgery allows for improved visualization and access to hard-to-reach areas, making it useful in complex prostate, gynecologic, and head and neck cancer surgeries.

RIA – Minimally Invasive Neck Dissection (MIND)

The Robotic Infraclavicular Approach for Minimally Invasive Neck Dissection (RIA-MIND) was developed by Dr. Sandeep Nayak, a surgical oncologist in India, for which he was awarded the KS International Robotic Surgery Innovation Award from USA-based Vattikuti Foundation.

It is a surgical technique that uses a robot to perform a neck dissection to remove cancerous tissues and lymph nodes from the neck. It is particularly useful for treating oral cancer.

RIA-MIND is less invasive than conventional open neck dissection, requiring smaller incisions, causing less trauma to the surrounding tissues, and allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure with greater precision and control.

Robotic Assisted Breast-Axillo Insufflate Thyroidectomy (RABIT)

Robotic Assisted Breast-Axillo Insufflate Thyroidectomy (RABIT)

Robotic Assisted Breast-Axillo Insufflate Thyroidectomy (RABIT) is a surgical procedure developed by Dr. Sandeep Nayak for the removal of the thyroid gland through the breast and axilla (underarm) approach, utilizing a robotic surgical system.

The procedure is considered to be less invasive than traditional thyroidectomy methods, with potential benefits such as better precision, reduced pain, scarring, and recovery time. It is considered to be one of the most advanced techniques for thyroid surgery in the world.
