Apollo Kolkata Pioneers Robotic Surgery for Rare Prostatic Tumor

In a groundbreaking medical achievement, Apollo Cancer Centre, Kolkata, has successfully performed India's first robotic-assisted excision of a rare prostatic stromal tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP). The complex procedure, led by Dr. Tarun Jindal and a multidisciplinary team, showcased the center's advanced capabilities in minimally invasive urological surgeries. This innovative approach offers patients benefits such as reduced blood loss, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery. The patient, who traveled from Myanmar for treatment, was discharged within three days post-surgery. This milestone underscores Apollo Kolkata's position at the forefront of robotic urology in India, highlighting the potential of cutting-edge technology in managing rare and complex urological conditions.
