Manesar, Dec 23:- Fortis Hospital, Manesar has unveiled Manesar’s first da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system, marking a major milestone in southern Haryana’s access to advanced, minimally invasive surgery. The launch positions Fortis Manesar among a select group of hospitals in India offering next-generation robotic surgery for complex procedures across Oncology, Urology, Gynaecology and General Surgery.
The state-of-the-art da Vinci Xi system was unveiled in the presence of senior Fortis leadership, clinicians, and key community stakeholders. With this installation, patients across Manesar and neighbouring districts will no longer need to travel to metro centres for advanced robotic procedures.
The da Vinci Xi platform offers surgeons high-definition 3D visualisation, wristed instruments with 540-degree articulation, tremor filtration, and unmatched precision, enabling complex surgeries to be performed through tiny incisions while preserving healthy tissue. This translates into less blood loss, fewer complications, reduced pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays for patients.
Highlighting the clinical impact of robotic surgery, doctors at Fortis Manesar recently treated a 23-year-old woman diagnosed with cancer of the lower intestine, who feared a permanent colostomy. After medical therapy and radiation successfully reduced the tumour size, surgeons used the da Vinci Xi system to precisely remove the cancer while preserving the natural bowel passage. A temporary stoma was closed within four weeks, and the patient has now regained normal bowel function, a life-changing outcome made possible through robotic precision.
Dr Vinay Samuel Gaikwad, Director Surgical Oncology, Fortis Hospital Manesar, said;
“Robotic surgery is transforming the way we manage complex cancers. The da Vinci Xi allows us to operate with exceptional accuracy, particularly in confined anatomical spaces, while protecting vital structures. This technology is a game-changer for cancer patients in this region, offering better tumour clearance, faster recovery and improved long-term outcomes.”
Dr Ruchir Maheshwari, Director Urology & Renal Transplant, Fortis Hospital Manesar, added;
“Robot-assisted surgery is now the global standard for many urological procedures. With the da Vinci Xi available in Manesar, patients can access world-class care closer to home. The enhanced dexterity and 3D vision significantly reduce blood loss and improve surgical outcomes.”
Dr Nisha Aggarwal, Director Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fortis Hospital Manesar, said;
“For women undergoing surgery for fibroids, endometriosis or gynaecological cancers, robotic surgery offers safer, more refined treatment with faster recovery and minimal discomfort. As lifestyle-related gynaecological conditions rise, this technology enables us to deliver precision care while preserving quality of life.”
Dr Rakesh Kumar, Additional Director General Surgery, Fortis Hospital Manesar, noted;
“Robotic-assisted surgery provides unparalleled control during complex abdominal procedures. The da Vinci Xi represents a significant leap forward in surgical excellence for the region.”
Abhijit Singh, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital Manesar, said;
“The introduction of the da Vinci Xi reflects Fortis’ commitment to bringing advanced healthcare technology to emerging growth corridors like Manesar. Beyond patient care, this platform will also support surgeon training and capability-building, strengthening the region’s healthcare ecosystem.”
Fortis Healthcare is among India’s largest robotic surgery providers, having performed over 10,000 robotic procedures across its network. With 15 robotic systems currently operational, including da Vinci Xi and X platforms, Fortis has built a robust, multi-specialty robotics ecosystem that combines clinical excellence, surgeon training, and rare, high-risk procedures.
With the launch of the da Vinci Xi at Fortis Manesar, robotic surgery, once limited to major metros, is now accessible to patients in Southern Haryana. The milestone reinforces Fortis’ vision of democratising advanced surgical care, ensuring patients benefit from safer surgeries, faster recovery and better long-term outcomes, closer to home.
