NEW DELHI: He looks like an airplane pilot in his cockpit. Except that he is a surgeon and he isn't in a cockpit. This pilot in question is Prem Nath Dogra, a doctor, and he mans a surgical console. He is monitoring a robot fitted with four arms that he deftly manipulates to conduct a complex operation.
It's a scene from India's first robot-assisted surgery last month conducted by Dogra, head and professor in the Department of Urology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
Along with a five-member team, he performed a 'robotic anterior exenteration', in simple words, the removal of organs towards the front of the pelvic cavity, on a 50-year-old woman with cancer of the urethra and bladder.
