In a groundbreaking achievement, Manipal Hospital has emerged as a pioneer in spinal surgery, marking a record 50 successful robotic spinal surgeries within the first month of its launch. The institution, renowned for its commitment to healthcare excellence, has introduced precision robotic procedures that have revolutionized spinal surgeries.
The advent of robotic surgery in addressing complex spine problems offers a new ray of hope for patients seeking accurate and safe solutions. Among the remarkable success stories is a 15-year-old Bangladeshi girl suffering from scoliosis, a spinal structural problem. She underwent the first-of-its-kind robotic scoliosis correction surgery in South India, demonstrating the hospital's commitment to pushing the boundaries of medical innovation.
Another testament to Manipal Hospital's success is the case of a 70-year-old man who had previously undergone surgery for a T-gen lumbar problem. The hospital successfully cured him through a thoracolumbar fusion procedure utilizing S2-ILEX screws, showcasing the versatility of robotic interventions.

Annually, the center performs 1,000 successful surgeries out of 25,000 OPD cases. Notably, 40% of the patients benefiting from this service hail from West Bengal and the North.
The Manipal Institute of Robotic Spine Surgery (MIRSS) has achieved a significant milestone by completing 50 surgeries in its inaugural month. These surgeries, performed on patients aged 15 to 85 years, utilized state-of-the-art technology, including an operating table with 3-D imaging, O-arm, and a radiolucent Purba Majorx robot, underscoring Manipal Hospital's commitment to cutting-edge medical practices.
Dr. S. Vidyadhara emphasized, "Using robotic guidance, we have achieved unparalleled success in many spinal conditions, including the correction of scoliosis, cervical corpectomy, cervical pedicle screw fixation, vertebral plasty, and kyphoplasty. Robotic surgery not only ensures low risk but also facilitates rapid patient recovery, offering a transformative approach to spine surgery."
