Health provider Medanta - The Medicity on Wednesday said that it will offer skill training programme in robotic radical prostatectomy to surgeons in India as well as neighbouring countries, who till now looked towards US and Europe for such training.

Robotic radical prostatectomy is a highly skilled operation and has a learning curve. The advantages of robotic surgery are less blood loss, early recovery and shorter duration of hospitalisation, it said.
