This study shows robotic-assisted surgery is safe and feasible in Pakistan. Initial outcomes for 100 patients demonstrate no complications, readmissions, or mortality, highlighting its potential in low-middle-income countries.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology
  • Health Outcomes Research

Background:

  • Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) adoption is growing globally.
  • Initial implementation of RAS in low-middle-income countries (LMICs) presents unique challenges and opportunities.
  • The Versius robotic system offers a platform for expanding surgical capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the initial experience and outcomes of the first 100 cases of robotic-assisted surgery performed by a Department of General Surgery.
  • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of RAS in a LMIC setting.
  • To assess early postoperative outcomes, including complications, readmission, and mortality.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study was conducted reviewing demographic and postoperative data of 100 patients.

  • Data were prospectively collected from hospital and CMR databases.
  • Key data points included patient demographics, diagnoses, operative details (console time), and 90-day postoperative outcomes (complications, readmission, mortality).

    • Main Results:

    • The average patient age was 44.26 ± 14.08 years.
    • Cholecystectomy was the most frequent procedure (78%).
    • Minimal blood loss (<100ml) was observed in all but one patient, with no postoperative complications, readmissions, or mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Robotic-assisted surgery is safe and feasible in LMICs with appropriate patient selection.
    • The initial experience demonstrates positive early outcomes, supporting the integration of RAS technology.
    • This study provides valuable data for centers considering RAS implementation in resource-limited settings.
