Apollo Hospitals Pune Performs Its First Robotic-Assisted Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Apollo Hospitals in Pune has successfully performed its first robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass graft surgery using the da Vinci Xi system. This minimally invasive procedure allows for faster recovery times and reduced surgical trauma compared to traditional open-chest surgery.
Why it matters
The adoption of robotic-assisted cardiac surgery represents a significant advancement in medical technology, offering patients safer and less invasive treatment options for complex heart conditions.
PUNE, India , July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Apollo Hospitals Pune has successfully performed its first robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surger y using the da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System . The procedure adds a minimally invasive surgical option for patien ts requiring bypass surgery and reflects the hospital's growing capabilities in advanced cardiac care.
In robotic-assisted bypass surgery, the surgeon operates through a few small incisions instead of opening the chest bone conventionally. The robotic system provides high-definition, three-dimensional visualization and precise instrument control, enabling complex procedures through a minimally invasive approach for carefully selected patients.
The da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System helps minimize surgical trauma and support improved clinical outcomes across a wide range of cardiac procedures.
