Hon. Telengana Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan inaugurates first-ever national conference on robotic gynaecological surgery in India, RoboGynlndia2022

Hon Governor with Prof. Walter.H Gotlieb, International faculty and Dr. Rooma Sinha, Organizing Chairperson, RoboGynIndia 2022

13th Aug 2022, Hyderabad: Hon. Telengana Governor, Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan inaugurated the first-ever national conference on robotic gynaecological surgery in India, RoboGynlndia2022, in Hyderabad today. This conference was jointly conducted by Association of Gynecological Robotic Surgeons (AGRS), the national organization of surgeons practicing the art of robotic gynecological surgeries, along with Intuitive Surgical, a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). The two-day-long conference is aimed at familiarizing surgeons and residents with the clinical application of the latest techniques in treating gynecological disorders. The conference organized at a hotel in Hyderabad, provided a unique opportunity for surgeons to interact with eminent international and Indian faculty to get insights into making this technology clinically relevant to their practice.

The organising committee had worked tirelessly to formulate comprehensive master class sessions on robotic gynecological procedures. Four international stalwarts in gynaecological surgery and eminent Indian surgeons were invited to ensure an extensive knowledge-sharing experience for the attendees. Apart from master class sessions on robotic myomectomy, robotic hysterectomy for malignancy, complex hysterectomy, endometriosis excision & neuropelveology, there were detailed keynotes and panel discussions on topics relevant to robotic-assisted surgery, its applications, future, and about the need to include RAS in insurance policies.

Hon Governor Inaugurating RoboGynIndia 2022

Commenting on this initiative, Dr. Rooma Sinha, the organising chairperson of RoboGynIndia and the Founder President of AGRS said “Thank you so much to our honorable Governor, Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan for gracing this event with her presence. Her being a gynecologist, I am sure her support to this initiative will abundantly help us to communicate the importance of addressing the growing health concerns of women in India, by using the latest surgical technology.

India is home to some of the top gynecology surgeons in the world, and we are delighted to introduce this platform to bring them all under one umbrella. Through this unique platform, we intend to familiarize our surgeons with the latest technology, paving the way for us to bring better clinical outcomes for women. Robotic-assisted systems like da Vinci allow the surgeon to take a minimal access approach to gynecology disorders requiring complex surgery, with a much lesser learning curve. This will not only help cancer patients, but also people who have benign conditions, as well. A typical Indian woman suffering from painful periods, heavy menstrual bleeding, fibroids or endometriosis suffers for years together, thinking this is a part of her life. Robotic surgery can make a big change in these women’s lives, by getting the surgery done with less hospitalization, less blood loss, less pain, and better aesthetics.”

Commenting on this joint initiative, Mandeep Singh Kumar – Vice President & Country GM – Intuitive India, said, “Though we are witnessing a rapid increase in the number of surgeons in India who are keen to adopt RAS technology to better serve their patients, there is an ever-increasing requirement for further adoption to serve a larger percentage of the population. This is very much visible in certain therapy areas, a key one being gynaecology. To help bridge this gap, we continuously collaborate with surgeon communities and leading hospitals to accelerate the understanding of benefits that come from robotic-assisted surgery among HCPs and patients. As a part of this drive, we are happy to be associated with AGRS for the RoboGynIndia conference, which aims to support the evolution of the country’s surgical healthcare landscape towards making the benefits of RAS accessible to a larger percentage of women in India.”

“Gynecologic disorders are notably more prevalent in women in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Training the specialists in LMICs to face multiple challenges like assuring protected time from other clinical demands, access to best practise guidelines, training tailored to the specific challenges faced in the trainee’s environment, isolation from other fully trained professionals, and securing support services. Furthermore, it costs a lot to train specialists from LMICs in environments with abundant resources. To tackle these challenges, we, the leaders of gynaecologic surgical facilities in India have devised a strategy for meeting the training requirements for our surgeons in the country, and RoboGynIndia is a product of that,” Dr. Rooma Sinha added.

Commenting on RAS in gynaecological surgery, Dr. Anupama Bahadur, Joint Organizing Secretary of RoboGynIndia said “the greatest surgical advancement in the last 2 decades can be attributed to robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). With significant advantages, it has revolutionised surgical practice with well-proven advantages like reduced surgical trauma and reduced incision-related complications. The new medical and surgical technologies have the potential to improve patient outcomes, and we are glad to have this one-of-a-kind platform built for our surgeons to familiarise themselves with the application of the latest surgical technologies in gynecology.”

More than 100 surgeons and residents from across India were a part of this two-daylong conference. The organising committee is planning to conduct this conference in the coming years as well. Apart from that, AGRS will conduct live robotic-assisted surgery sessions in various parts of the country in the coming months.

Speaking on the occasion Dr (Smt.) Tamilisai Soundararajan said, my being here and inaugurating this Conference is to compliment Dr Rooma Sinha for her exemplary services. It’s not easy to initiate new technology, my thoughts go back to 40 years ago when we were practicing ultrasound and foetal therapy, at that time interventional ultrasound was not thought of, so when we came forward to perform some of the procedure through ultrasound, there was resistance, we used to go around and try to convince people. That way I can guess the resistance Dr Rooma would have experienced while introducing this new technology. In our country it is expected that whatever latest and highest technology is introduced it has to be patient oriented and even if there is a small complication, it would be difficult to use it for the next patient because of the bad word it earned. Especially today with the access to information patients have, it becomes even more difficult to convince the patient. Under such difficult circumstances what Dr Rooma achieved is commendable and I realise the importance of it, all the more as a gynaecologist. Off late technology plays an important role, be it AI, AR or VR, 3D printing, robotics, all these have changed the face of treatment. The goal of our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Digital Health Mission is to make healthcare delivery available, inexpensively and accessible for everyone, especially the poor who reside in remote and difficult to reach areas. Technology helps to preserve the cosmetic aspects, has minimal complications and enables to innovatively deal with problems. Conferences like this enable us to interact with each other so that the experiences shared here will make us to take on challenges we face. My appeal is to encourage more research activities and ensure they are published, for others to benefit. The robotic surgery will soon be very popular due to the rapid growth of technology and the aspiring medical professionals have to develop their skills in this area. Technology should also make the services economically feasible for all sections of society. Medical services have improved manyfold, my appeal to insurance companies is to include the evolving medical procedures in their list of approved procedures, as they were found to be wanting in approving such latest procedures, which is very disheartening. I request insurance companies to come forward and include all the robotic surgeries and approve them. Even the government insurance schemes should include such latest procedures in the approval list.               

Dr Hari Prasad said, we have come across many individuals with multiple facets but very few have excelled in all the facets they possess and Dr (Smt.) Tamilisai Soundararajan, is one of them. Our Chairman Dr Prathap C. Reddy takes decisions in matter of minutes and when its new technology he doesn’t event think about it. When robotic surgery was introduced we thought it could only benefit urology and gastroenterology patients. But success often comes from unexpected quarters and it did come that way when a tiny little young lady who took the lead and made a huge difference to the robotic surgery and that is Dr Rooma Sinha, the whole country is proud of your accomplishment and we are extremely proud of just not what you achieved, but also of what you are going to achieve in the future. History is being created by the launch of Association of Gynaecological Robotic Surgeons. 

A typical Indian woman endures painful periods, heavy menstrual bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis and more for years, not wanting to inconvenience the family. Robotic surgery can empower these women by facilitating minimal trauma, hospitalization, blood loss with better aesthetics, says Dr Rooma Sinha. Association of Gynaecological Robotic Surgeons and RoboGynIndia-2022, the first exclusive Conference on Gynaecological Robotic Surgeries in India, has been conceived purely to liberate women from conventional painful open surgeries and post-surgery trauma. Today no woman should be subjected to an open surgery and minimal access surgery should be available to all. But we are not able to provide that to the women of this country, the reason being, in spite of  minimal access surgery now being available in every hospital including in small towns, but still the skill and infrastructure required for performing complex gynaecology surgeries becomes difficult. The role of robotics here helps general surgeons to develop these skills fast and translate the benefit of minimal access surgeries to the women in our country. This Association was conceived by seven of us and took seven years to form. The Association will proactively train gynaecologists pan India in Robotic surgeries to facilitate this noble objective. Our very own made in India “Mantra” robot will enable greater penetration of robotic surgeries and reach the services to the remotest part of India, says Dr Rooma Sinha. We have very good response to this inaugural meeting.  

 

Prof. Mahendra Bhandari said, today the robotic gynaecology surgery in India is on an auto mode. When Vattikuti Foundation wanted to bring robotic surgery to India in 2009, there were no takers, DaVinci was untouchable, they didn’t find it worthwhile because of the capital involved and the recurring cost. Three months I went to every sector and addressed them, because the Indian model was not workable only on urology alone and I was looking for some other high volume area and then I decided it wouldn’t be working. But it was the Apollo Hospital which embraced it, when we met the Chairman Dr Prathap C. Reddy, within 15 minutes he took the decision to have six robots and that paved the way for robotic surgery gaining popularity in India.       

The faculty for the RoboGynIndia comprises of four internationally renowned robotic surgeons, like Prof Walter H Gotlieb, Professor of Ob-Gyn & Oncology, McGill University – Montreal, Canada; Dr Krishnanshu S Tewari, Associate Professor, Division of Gynecologic Oncology at University of California, Irvine, USA; Dr Gabi Moawad, Associate Professor, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, USA and  Prof Arnold Advincula, Medical Director, Columbia University, New York. The experienced robotic surgeons from India forming the faculty are Dr Rooma Sinha, Dr Anshumala Shukla Kulkarni, Dr Rama Joshi, Dr Anupama Bahadur, Dr Yogesh Kulkarni, Dr S. Chinnababu and Dr Mala Srivastava among others.

A wide spectrum of topics related to Gynaecological Robotic Surgeries are being deliberated at the Conference. Some of the thought provoking topics include the future of robotics in gynaecological surgeries; Artificial Intelligence and its application in gynaecological surgeries; starting a successful gynaecological robotic surgery program; strategies to overcome barriers and how to make robotic surgeries economically feasible; advantage of robotics in treating obese patients; ‘MANTRA’ the India robot; robotic assisted surgeries of complex Hysterectomies, myomectomies, endometriosis, malignant robotic hysterectomy and other complex surgeries. 

In India four robotic platforms “DaVinci”, “Hugo RAS”, “Versius” and “Mantra” are available currently for clinical use and these will help to expedite the penetration of robotic surgeries.

Apollo Hospitals pioneered robotic surgeries in India by introducing DaVinci Robotic surgery system across 4 hospitals, way back in 2012, today the Group is offering Robotic Surgeries across 8 Apollo Hospitals. Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad is acknowledged for pioneering Robotic Gynaecological surgeries in the Country. The Centre has done stupendous work for over a decade under the stewardship of Chief Gynaecologist, Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad; Dr Rooma Sinha. She deservingly holds the distinction of performing the maximum number of robotic surgeries for Gynecological problems in India.

SSG pledges to make India Healthier and Fitter, announces fitness campaign “Azad India Fit India”

India, August 2022: StepSetGo (SSG) the award-winning tech-enabled health and fitness platform, announces a mass fitness campaign “Azad India Fit India” and pledges to raise India’s awareness towards fitness. This Independence Day, StepSetGo urges the people of India to invite friends and family, to join in an initiative to celebrate 75 years of India’s independence and the glorious history of our people, culture, and achievement.

The campaign urges people to use the SSG app, track and walk at least 7500 steps on the 15th of August with the Trianga (flags, badges, outfits, face paintings – get creative!) and share a picture with the hashtag #AzadIndiaFitIndia. Users can also earn SSG coins by doing this activity in the application. These coins can be exchanged for amazing rewards on the SSG application. These include – the number of participants, steps walked, petrol saved, carbon emissions reduced, and many more.

With this campaign, SSG aims to get at least 1.75 lakh people to participate in this challenge with the mission  “Azad India Fit India”.

Commenting on the campaign Cricketer Zaheer Khan Said, “Awareness about how much a good short walk every day can do for you is clearly lacking. Most fitness platforms only promote 6-pack abs, and quick weight loss solutions, alienating the general population about the importance and impact small steps and consistency in a simple fitness regime can have.”

Mr. Shivjeet Ghatge, Founder, SSG added, “StepSetGo has always focused on doing a little more than you did yesterday. We also believe the only way people will start taking these small steps towards a healthier life is if we make that process for them fun, simple, social and rewarding. This campaign is to drive home that feeling of us as a country overcoming a problem that is ignored by most of us.”

The SSG app incentivizes users to stay fit through a reward-based system. With this unique and inspiring idea, the app has taken the fitness market by a storm and has been able to get the highest engagement in the health and fitness category on the Indian app store and play store.

The platform tracks the number of steps a user has walked over the course of a day and rewards them with coins that can be redeemed through the bazaar section. With this unique value proposition, StepSetGo quickly gained popularity through word of mouth and enjoys a rating of 4.3 on the Google Play Store.

The user base currently has 9 million users and is anticipated to increase to 11 million by 2023. It demonstrates a similar trend Even in comparison with international fitness apps that have more than 50 Million downloads worldwide; SSG still boasts the highest daily active users, monthly active users, and daily session per user, before and during the lockdown.

A fitness challenge is more than a fitness goal. If you immerse yourself into the challenge and a positive environment it’s more than just a regular workout.
