Aykai Hospital Brings World-Class CMR Versius Robotic Surgery “Punjab Steps into the Future of Surgery”

Ludhiana, January 31, 2026: AYKAI Hospital today launched one of most advanced FDA (USA)–approved versius robotic surgical system imported from UK , a landmark initiative that brings world-class robotic surgery to Punjab .

Widely adopted across Europe, the USA, and other advanced healthcare systems, this versius robotic platform known for its small, modular, and portable design, has already been used in over 40,000 surgical procedures worldwide. It is extensively applied in urology, kidney transplantation, kidney & prostate cancer, general surgery( gall bladder & hernia), gynaecology, oncology, and paediatric surgery, making it a true game-changer in modern surgical care. Addressing the media, Dr Baldev Singh Aulakh, Chief Urologist, Robotic and Transplant Surgeon, and Chairman of AYKAI Hospital, said,

“With more than 38 years of experience in urology, leapt from minimal access laparoscopic surgery to robotic surgery, I firmly believe this technology will redefine surgical care in Punjab. With versius in our operation theatre, we will be able to do complex & advanced urology and other procedures with greatest precision and efficiency . Patients will no longer need to travel to metro cities to access world-class, minimally invasive robotic surgery.” Rather patients from Punjab and neighbouring states will get benefitted.

Dr Aulakh informed that a patient with kidney cancer came to Aykai hospital , he was told about need of robotic surgery to remove , treat cancer & save kidney . Initially he was scared and apprehensive but when he was made aware that it is not robotic machine only but experienced urologist controlling that robot system with precision, then he was convinced and he was successfully operated upon with the robotic assitance by the experienced urology team led by Dr Aulakh . Dr Aulakh highlighted that this FDA-approved robotic system empowers surgeons with 3D HD vision, 10x magnification, tremor-free movements, and wristed instruments, delivering precision beyond the human hand. These advanced capabilities translate directly into reduced pain, minimal blood loss, quicker recovery, short hospital stay and superior clinical outcomes improving long term quality of life. With this milestone, Punjab medical council member Dr Karamvir Goyal Director Dept of Medicine Aykai Hospital, Dr Pawan Dhingra IMA president,Robotic surgeons Dr Amit Tuli ,Dr Jatin Goyal , Dr Suhasini Raina and Dr Pritpal congratulated Aykai for strengthening its position as a leading centre for advanced urology, kidney & prostate cancer management, kidney transplantation, general surgery, gynaecology, oncology, and paediatric surgery, setting new benchmarks in patient-centred surgical excellence across the region.
