The surgery, called da Vinci Robotic Surgery, was launched by Dr Suresh Advani, an oncologist with the Jaslok Hospital.
The newly launched system helps surgeons achieve greater surgical precision, improved dexterity and superior control while performing operations, the hospital said in a statement.
The robot allows a surgeon's hand movements to be filtered and translated into precise micro-movements of tiny instruments, it said, adding the precision translates into smaller incisions, less blood loss and faster recovery.
