ARIS (The Association of the Robotic and Innovative Surgeons) is formally launched here today in Guwahati by Chandra Mohan Patowary, Minister for Industries and Commerce in Government of Assam.
ARIS – the Association of Robotic & Innovative Surgeons is India’s Own First Robotic Surgeon’s Association.
The association stated Robotic surgery is the new future of surgery world over, recent advances in equipment and surgical techniques have made minimally invasive surgery popular and one of the most effective techniques in several fields of surgery. It has several advantages over standard surgical approaches, including Rapid recover, Lower rate of post-operative infection, Decreased pain, Better postoperative immune function, Cosmetic results .
Patowary said, “We acknowledge the efforts and thank the founding members to have considered launching the society in Guwahati. There are many initiatives taken by the Assam Government to improve Healthcare Infrastructure and we are confident that Guwahati will be in the top 10 healthcare tourism destination in the country. We are also aware that our neighbouring states look up to Guwahati for advanced treatment including Robotics. This is one another proud moment for all of us and very pleased to know Dr. Khanna is the founding president and knowing him for many years, we are sure he will take this Association and the Robotic science to greater heights, ultimately improving the quality of care to our people.”
Khanna said “India does have some of the world’s best Surgeons and Healthcare Professionals and it is time for the World to acknowledge the commendable surgeries, treatments, procedures and volume of work happening here in India. It is probably for the first time in the history that many international associations have expressed interest to collaborate with an Indian Association to train surgeons in Robotics. I am overwhelmed with the response from our colleagues and young surgeons in their interest in Robotics which we all know is the future of surgery.”
He said that there are only about around 100 surgical Robots in the country whereas Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Malaysia do not have any Robot. The members of those countries can also enrol as members in this society.
The organization said that robotics-assisted surgery has gained popularity in several surgical specialties globally, and many institutions are investing in medical robotic technology for applications in General surgery, Urological, Head and Neck, Gynaecological, and Neurological surgery. This new and exciting technology is shown and proven to have better or comparable outcomes and can be cost-effective in the long run when compared with conventional surgical approaches.
