Anatomy
Understanding the Oesophagus
(Food Pipe)
The oesophagus is a muscular tube connecting the throat to the stomach, vital for carrying food and liquids. When medical conditions disrupt this pathway, everyday life becomes a challenge.
Common Symptoms to Watch For:
- Difficulty swallowing (Dysphagia)
- Persistent heartburn
- Unexplained weight loss
- Food regurgitation
- Chest pain or pressure
- Chronic cough or hoarseness
Technology
What is Robotic Oesophagus Surgery?
Leveraging 3Di da Vinci robotic technology, we offer surgical precision that goes beyond human capability by ensuring minimal trauma and maximum success.
3D Precision
Enhanced visualisation for intricate tissue handling and safety.
Faster Recovery
Return to life faster with significantly reduced hospital stay.
Less Pain
Smaller incisions dramatically reduce post-op pain.
Keyhole Access
Tiny ports minimise large open incisions for better healing.
Specialisations
Conditions We Treat
Specialist care for complex oesophageal disorders.
Oesophageal Cancer
Advanced robotic oesophagectomy allows for complete tumour removal with meticulous lymph node dissection, significantly improving survival outcomes and recovery quality.
GERD & Acid Reflux
Robotic Nissen Fundoplication provides long-term relief from persistent heartburn and acidity when medication fails.
Achalasia Cardia
Expert robotic Heller's Myotomy to restore normal swallowing function with precision recovery and safety.
Hiatus Hernia & Barrett's
Comprehensive repair of hiatus hernias and expert management of pre-cancerous Barrett's oesophagus using advanced robotic surgical tools.
Step by Step
How Robotic Surgery
is Performed
A step-by-step guide to your surgical day, prioritising safety and surgical excellence at every milestone.
Pre-Surgical Evaluation
Detailed mapping of the oesophagus and surrounding structures using advanced diagnostic imaging for absolute precision.
Small Keyhole Incisions
Instead of open surgery, several small (5mm) ports are created for the robotic arms, ensuring minimal scarring.
Robotic System Setup
The 3D da Vinci system is docked, providing Dr. Sharma with a high-definition 3D view and tremor-filtered precision.
The Procedure & Closure
Precise surgery is performed followed by meticulous closure for the best cosmetic and functional results.
