According to Dr. Bindal, this Robotic Surgery is quite popular in Europe and America. It came to India two years back and its popular in Metro cities only not other small towns of India. Dr. Bindal further added that this advance surgery is useful to cure liver disease, cancer form female uterus, tremor, womb related problems. It is painless treatment & can heal the patient in quick time but the treatment through Robotic Surgery is much more expensive than the normal surgery.

Another well known young Robotic Surgeon Doctor Rajiv Yadav-Gold Medalist-M.S.-AIMS & working with Medanta, the Medicity Hospital, Gurgaon. According to him Robotic surgery is a form of advanced laparoscopic surgery which is done with the help of surgical robot. By using surgical robot, the precision, safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery increases. This is especially true about certain specific type of surgeries like prostate, urinary bladder and kidney cancers in urology. By increasing the precision and quality of surgery, it decreases the need for blood transfusion, shortens hospital stay and makes it feasible to discharge the patient from hospital, faster. Contrary to the popular belief, robotic surgery is not performed by an autonomous robot but all the movements and actions are directly controlled by the operating surgeon. Thus the experience of the surgeon is the most important determinant of the outcome and surgical robot is just a tool in his hand which makes the surgery better than conventional surgery.
Dr. Yadav revealed that in general awareness is not much among not only the general public but also among the doctors in non surgical specialty. Even, doctors especially family physicians have to learn about the benefits of robotic surgery and specific indications where it is beneficial for their patients. Although the name 'Robotic surgery' generates a lot of enquiries and interest among patients but it is very important to understand and discuss with their doctors whether it is suitable for a particular patient and his or her disease condition or not. Therefore, it is important to chose well experienced and trained doctor rather than just getting carried by the fancy name.
Dr. Rajiv Yadav informed that in comparison to open surgery the need for blood transfusion is less, shorter hospital stay with robotic surgery and less pain. Although the overall cost is increased (fifty to sixty thousands more in robotic surgery) but the benefits outweighs the drawback.

On the concluding day of the congress, the Laparoscopic surgeons who had successfully completed their training under the aegis of World Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons and TGO University from 108 countries were felicitated during the congress.
11th February,2012. Modern Yoga Guru Swami Sanjay Bishwanath begins his Yoga Campaign from Dwarka. In the first edition of his campaign, he delivered his moral value added lecture and Yoga-cum-meditation camp at Hotel Royal Star, Sector-10, Dwarka. Around fifty people attended this camp and they were impressed with the way Swami ji taught them very useful yoga exercises. Swami ji informed dwarkaparichay that his camp is meant for all age group, so youth should come forward and attend these camps. He further added, that after attending these camps regularly, common problems like obesity, tension, depression, laziness, thyroid, headache, etc. can remove permanently.

3rd World Congress of Laparoscopic Surgeons and Gynecologists will be held on 14th and 15th February 2012. It will be Organized by World Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons at World Laparoscopy Hospital, Cyber City, Gurgaon, NCR, Delhi, India. It is approved by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Government of India and Financially Supported by Medical Council of India.
Prominent doctors of the said fields from India and abroad will be the key speakers of the congress. It is an essential piece of professional development for every surgeon and gynaecologist Live World Class Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery Workshop on High Definition Four Arm da Vinci Surgical Robot.
The Scientific Proramme includes live laparoscopic and robotic surgery that will be performed by Dr. R.K. Mishra and his team of prominent laparoscopic surgeons. Even live surgery on Laparoscopic Cholecytectomy, Laparoscopic Appendicectomy, Laparoscopic Hernia, Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy, Laparoscopic Nephrectomy, Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy, Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery will be done.
The main objectives of the congress will be focused on different issues like current applications of robotics in various specialties of surgery and assess clinical efficiency and safety, latest innovations of the technology with new instrumentation, better ergonomics and different concepts such as single-port laparoscopic surgery. establish standards for training globally for minimally invasive and robotic surgery, contribute in determining minimally invasive and robotic health care policies, impart Training in robotic surgical techniques in well-established procedures in General Surgery, Urology, Gynecology and Pediatrics.
Laparoscopic surgeons who have successfully completed training under the aegis of World Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons and TGO University from 108 countries will be felicitated during the congress.
