PGI performs India's first robot-assisted reverse vasectomy
Chandigarh: In a landmark advancement in urological surgery and male infertility treatment , the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, has successfully performed India's first robot-assisted vasovasostomy - a sophisticated procedure to reverse vasectomy - using cutting-edge robotic technology. The breakthrough surgery was performed on July 9, 2025, by a skilled team led by Dr Aditya Prakash Sharma, Dr Girdhar Bora, both Additional Professors, and Prof Ravi Mohan from the Department of Urology. This pioneering intervention replaces the traditional microscope-based technique with the precision of robotic surgery, marking a major leap forward in reproductive microsurgery in India. The patient, a 43-year-old male presenting with secondary infertility following a vasectomy, underwent the procedure using the da Vinci Surgical System . He was discharged the very next day, signaling a swift and successful recovery. Vasovasostomy, commonly known as vasectomy reversal, is a highly intricate microsurgical operation that involves reconnecting the severed ends of the vas deferens to restore the passage of sperm and enable natural conception. Traditionally dependent on high-powered microscopes, the PGIMER team broke new ground by harnessing robotic assistance - offering three-dimensional magnified visualization, enhanced precision, and superior suturing stability. "This innovation reflects PGIMER's unwavering commitment to integrating next-generation technology into patient care," said Dr Aditya Prakash Sharma, the lead surgeon. "Robot-assisted vasovasostomy not only improves accuracy but also reduces surgeon fatigue and eliminates tremor - allowing the use of ultra-fine sutures, even thinner than a strand of human hair. It opens a new horizon for couples desiring natural conception post-vasectomy." Echoing this sentiment, Prof Ravi Mohan highlighted the broader implications: "This successful procedure showcases the versatility of robotic platforms beyond their conventional use in cancer and reconstructive surgeries. It paves the way for expanded applications in andrology and microsurgery." With this surgical first, India joins an elite global league of centres equipped to offer robot-assisted vasovasostomy. PGIMER plans to publish the results in peer-reviewed journals to encourage larger clinical adoption across India and beyond. The team credited the vision and support of Prof Uttam Mete, Head of the Urology Department, and Prof Vivek Lal, director of PGIMER, for enabling such high-precision innovations. Their guidance, they said, played a vital role in turning this milestone into a reality. This achievement not only reinforces PGIMER's reputation as a centre of excellence but also signals a promising future for male infertility treatment in India, said Lal.

Experimental surgical robot performs gallbladder procedure autonomously
Bengaluru: An experimental AI-guided robot can autonomously perform a delicate, complicated phase of a common gallbladder operation , marking a major step toward automated medical procedures, researchers said on Wednesday. Existing surgical robots are remotely controlled by surgeons. The new system uses artificial intelligence to make independent decisions and adapts to unexpected complications during operations, said Axel Krieger of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, who led the research. He likened it to an autonomous vehicle that can "navigate any road, in any condition, responding intelligently to whatever it encounters." "This advancement moves us from robots that can execute specific surgical tasks to ones that truly understand surgical procedures," he said. The SRT-H robot was trained via an AI framework known as language-guided imitation learning, using videos of surgeons performing gallbladder removal surgeries on pig cadavers, the researchers reported in Science Robotics. The robot was tested on eight varying sets of pig gallbladders and livers that had been removed from the animals. Separating the gallbladder from the liver takes several minutes and involves "diverse tool use, including grabbing, clipping, and cutting - skills common in real surgical procedures," along with decision-making and adaptation, the researchers said. The pig organs and blood vessels in the tests varied widely in appearance and anatomy, "mirroring the diversity encountered in human surgeries," they said. While the robot achieved 100% accuracy in the surgeries, it took longer to perform the work than a human surgeon. Commercially available surgical robots include Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci Surgical System, which has been used in over 12 million procedures globally since receiving FDA approval in 2000. Unlike SRT-H, the da Vinci system relies entirely on human surgeons to control its movements remotely. The global surgical robotics market is approaching $10 billion annually with about 2.7 million robotic procedures performed in 2024, Baird analyst David Rescott estimated. Eventually, autonomous surgical robots could help address surgeon shortages, minimize human error, and provide consistent, high-quality care in underserved regions, the researchers said.
