Eternal Hospital, Jaipur, has successfully introduced Rajasthan's first da Vinci Xi Robotic Cardiac Surgery Program for coronary bypass surgery, marking a significant advancement in the treatment of coronary artery disease in the state. Since the program's initiation in March 2026, the hospital has been offering Robotic Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (Robotic CABG) using the state-of-the-art da Vinci Xi Surgical System, with encouraging clinical outcomes.
Robotic CABG is a minimally invasive alternative to conventional open-heart bypass surgery that enables surgeons to perform coronary artery bypass procedures through small incisions without dividing the breastbone. The advanced robotic platform provides high-definition three-dimensional visualization and exceptional surgical precision, helping reduce surgical trauma while maintaining the highest standards of cardiac care.
Compared to conventional open-heart surgery, patients undergoing Robotic CABG benefit from smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, lower blood loss, fewer wound-related complications, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to normal daily activities, contributing to an improved recovery experience.
Speaking on the milestone, Dr Ajeet Bana, Chairman, Cardiac Sciences, EHCC, said: "The da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System has transformed the way we perform coronary bypass surgery. By enabling surgery through small incisions without dividing the breastbone, robotic CABG offers patients a less invasive treatment option with faster recovery while maintaining the same standards of surgical excellence. Our goal is to make advanced cardiac care more accessible to patients across Rajasthan and neighbouring states."
