"hysterectomy"

A 16-month-old infant in Hyderabad became the youngest patient globally to undergo telesurgery, performed remotely by Dr. V Chandramohan from Gurugram using the indigenous SSI Mantra robot. Enabled by 5G technology, the hour-long procedure corrected a congenital kidney blockage.

The young woman, Ramadevi reported with the problem of placenta blocking the cervix, which is the narrow passage for the baby to pass through from the womb.

The technique is known as ‘GOEL’s technique of Laparascopic Hysterectomy for Endometrium Carcinoma’.

But awareness about the uterus beyond its role in menstruation and pregnancy is often limited.
