THANE: The Tieten Medicity Hospital successfully performed one of Thane’s first robotic telesurgeries for gall bladder removal (robotic cholecystectomy) using the indigenously developed Mizzo Endo 4000 robotic surgical system.The robotic procedure was performed through a secure 5G-enabled network with an ultra-low latency of less than 10 milliseconds. The surgery was remotely performed on the patient by Dr Pradeep Tripathi, senior consultant Dr Umang Shandilya, with the multidisciplinary robotic surgery team. The patient, who was from Dombivli, was suffering from acute cholecystitis with symptomatic gall stones and severe abdominal pain.Speaking about the surgery, Dr. Pradeep Tripathi, Senior Consultant – GI, Laparoscopic, Robotic & Bariatric Surgeon, Tieten Medicity Hospital, said, “This successful telesurgery demonstrates how robotic technology combined with high-speed connectivity can redefine surgical care delivery. The ability to remotely perform a complex robotic cholecystectomy with such precision reflects the future of minimally invasive surgery in India.”Dr Umang Shandilya added, “The ultra-low latency achieved through 5G connectivity enabled smooth robotic control while our bedside surgical and OT teams ensured uninterrupted coordination and patient safety throughout the procedure.”The Mizzo Endo 4000 is a Made-in-India robotic surgical platform equipped with AI-enabled capabilities integrated with advanced 5G technology. Designed for multiple specialties including GI surgery, urology, gynecology, thoracic surgery, and oncology, the platform offers high-definition 3D visualization, precise instrument articulation, ergonomic controls, tremor filtration, and tele-surgical capabilities for enhanced surgical precision and clinical outcomes.
