Islamabad made history as the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) successfully conducted the first-ever robotic surgery in the capital.
The landmark procedure marks a major technological advancement in Pakistan’s healthcare system, enabling greater precision and safety in complex surgeries.
According to hospital officials, the advanced “To My Surgical Robot” system was used for the operation, which was carried out successfully at PIMS.
The procedure was performed with the participation of international experts from the United Kingdom, who collaborated with local surgeons to ensure its success.
The medical team leading the operation included Professor Shamim Khan, Professor Mateen Sharif, and Dr. Javed Burki, who guided throughout the procedure.
Their expertise played a crucial role in the successful implementation of robotic technology at the hospital.
According to PIMS medical experts Dr. Atif Inam Shami, Dr. Burhan-ul-Haq, and Dr. Khalid Saeed, robotic surgery will make complex operations significantly safer and more effective in the future.
The technology allows for minimal incisions, quicker recovery times, and greater accuracy compared to conventional surgical methods.
