The Institute of Kidney Diseases (IKD) at Hayatabad Medical Complex in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is on the verge of launching robotic surgery services, marking a significant advancement in medical technology for the region. According to TechJuice, this initiative follows a successful one-day live workshop where visiting surgeons from the United Kingdom performed two robot-assisted procedures, training local doctors in the process. ProPakistani highlights that the introduction of robotic surgery in IKD is a first for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with IKD Director Dr. Kamran Khan stating that a formal proposal has been submitted to the Board of Governors to seek government approval and a special grant for purchasing a surgical robot. The technology promises 'greater precision, reduced blood loss, and shorter hospital stays' compared to conventional methods. This development is part of a broader trend, as robotic surgery is already utilized in other parts of Pakistan and is expanding globally.
