Achievements of IRS
- Performed Asia’s first Robotic Aortic surgery under the guidance of Prof. Arvind Kumar
- AortoBifemoral Bypass is performed for patients with significant Aorto-iliac Atherosclerotic disease. This Aortic surgery involves using a Y-graft to bypass the obstruction and take blood from Aorta to both the femoral arteries (groin), thereby supplying adequate blood to both legs. Traditionally, the graft-Aorta Anastomosis of this Aortic Surgery was done by open method involving big cut across whole of abdomen. Attempts at doing this Aortic Surgery by Key-Hole method (Laparoscopy) were not successful because of difficulty in suturing. Now, for the first time in Asia, this complex Aortic Surgery is being done by Key-Hole method with Robotic assistance at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi.
