CMR Surgical recently announced that Galaxy Care Hospital, Pune, India, has procured Versius, a next-generation surgical robotic system. A range of surgical procedures have already been conducted using Versius at the centre for laparoscopy, including trans-thoracic procedures, hysterectomies and myomectomy procedures, under the leadership of Dr Shailesh Puntambekar Medical Director, Galaxy Care Hospital, Pune.
Galaxy Care with the introduction of Versius will support the hospital to bring robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery to more people. Dr Puntambekar will lead the team using Versius. In addition to this, he is responsible for training laparoscopy to surgeons from all over the world, helping to bring the benefits of minimal access surgery to patients globally.
“As an experienced surgeon in robotic assisted surgery I think that there is significant potential for Versius to further increase access to laparoscopic surgery for my patients, so it was a natural choice to acquire this system. Versius, as a small and cost-effective system is well suited for meeting the high surgical demand in India. We are excited to bring the next-generation surgical robot to India.” said Dr Puntambekar.
“Galaxy Care has become our first customer to acquire and use Versius and this is an important milestone in bringing the benefits of minimal access surgery to all. It is important that we bring Versius to market responsibly and we are delighted to be working closely with Galaxy Care on the introduction of Versius in the hospital, said Mark Slack, Chief Medical Officer, CMR Surgical.
