What is Robotic Esophagus & Stomach Surgery?
Robotic surgery for the esophagus and stomach is a minimally invasive approach that allows surgeons to perform complex upper GI procedures with enhanced precision, dexterity, and visualization.

Through a few small incisions, Dr. Bala controls robotic arms equipped with fine instruments and a 3D high-definition camera. This technology offers magnified vision and unmatched control, enabling precise movements around delicate tissues and vital organs.

👉 Myth-Busting: The robot never operates independently. Every movement is guided by Dr. Bala at the console, ensuring human expertise with robotic accuracy.

Compared to open or laparoscopic surgery, robotic upper GI surgery offers superior visualization, steadier control, and improved access to confined areas of the gastrointestinal tract.​
Benefits of Robotic Esophagus & Stomach Surgery

Patients often get these advantages compared with traditional open surgery:

● Smaller scars and less tissue damage
● Less blood loss during surgery
● Less pain after surgery and quicker recovery
● Shorter hospital stay
