Vattikuti Fellow Dr. Ashwin Mallya, working with Mentor Surgeon Dr. Rajesh Ahlawat at both Fortis Escorts and subsequently at Medanta, the Medicity shares multi-center research about improving robot assisted radical prostatectomy procedures. “There is no doubt that palpation of the gland and frozen resection helps.” Mallya reports. He cites several studies from around the world, including the Vattikuti Urology Institute and Vattikuti Foundation partners in the Lister Hospital in the UK.
He shares the cost-effective technique being practiced by Dr. Ahlawat and his team to the Robotic Surgeons Council of India.
