<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Robotic surgery was a technology that was going nowhere in India. I hoped to change that,” recalls Professor Mahendra Bhandari, a renowned Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon. Dr. Bhandari was a student at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. For his ExecMap Project in 2009, he proposed to create a business model for making expensive robotic surgery more affordable for Indian patients. He needed classmate-volunteers to join his team for his plan to succeed. The ambitious project recruited six members, led by Professor Andy Lawlor, who visited India and analyzed the data firsthand. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Ross India trip was a real “eye-opening experience,” according to team member Robert Barrow. Barrow, now vice president at Wright & Filippis, a large Michigan-based healthcare and prosthetics firm, remembers, “To look at India, with maybe one or two robots that were really not being used, and to develop a true market penetration strategy… If you look at where we started in 2009, to where you are today, the progress is unbelievable.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today in India, there are 28 robotic programs and 3,000 multispecialty procedures done per year. “In just five years, thanks in part to the plan established by the ExecMap Project, not only has robotic surgery gained a rightful place in Indian hospitals, it has proven that India has the expertise to lead the world in developing new uses for this minimally invasive tool,” says Dr. Bhandari. Medanta Vattikuti Institute of Robotic Surgery is the pioneer in establishing robotic renal transplants with hypothermia in collaboration with Dr. Mani Menon and the Vattikuti Urology Institute in Detroit. India is the only country in the world that has multispecialty robotic surgery programs and helps to make this form of surgery cost effective. Today, the Vattikuti Foundation continues to support robotic surgery efforts in India, Europe, and in the United States. </span><br />

<div style="color: #3a3a3a;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Urologists at the <b>Vattikuti Urology Institute (VUI) at Henry Ford</b> devised an unconventional technique to remove a staghorn calculi, or a large kidney stone with sharp, craggy branches, which can lead to disease or death if left untreated. The technique is called Robotic Anatrophic Nephrolithotomy or RANL, for short and is combined with a cooling procedure, referred to as ICE.</span></div>
<div style="color: #3a3a3a;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #3a3a3a;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">While using this procedure to remove staghorn kidney stones is a first, doctors from Henry Ford and the Muljibhai Patel Urological Hospital (MPUH) in Gujarat, India have used RANL on 3 patients without any complications. Researchers at the VUI and MPUH explain that the new procedure is “a safe, minimally invasive option that may be considered in patients with staghorn stones.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Vattikuti Foundation sponsored a meeting of the <b>Robotic Surgeons Council</b> at the Hotel ITC Maurya. Over 60 top Indian robotic surgeons participated in a packed, daylong symposium. Nearly 20 hospitals were represented, and each provided an update on the progress being made in growing the use of the da Vinci surgical system. Ideas on data sharing, proctoring, training and collaboration were discussed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vattikuti Foundation CEO, Dr. Mahendra Bhandari, told the elite gathering that the “Vattikuti Foundation’s intention is to provide a commonplace forum for multi-specialties, multi-institutional activities, and this is purely academic…”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Raj Vattikuti, Foundation president and founder, addressed the group by video, stating that “Our main focus is the quality," and he spoke of how the Foundation’s leadership in Urology has expanded into other disciplines. He continued to share ideas on how to achieve higher quality and his hopes for the Robotic Surgeons Council: “We have a great opportunity for India in terms of building this program… Most [importantly], this is not from the Foundation; it is a group you can really help to mold this program in India, and can be the best in the world.”</span><br />

His estate was seeking $8.5 million dollars. Scott Bildsten, the surgeon, was performing his first unassisted case robotically and decided that he had to convert to open due to complications. Taylor's estate claimed that the surgeon had not been trained properly by </span><em style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Intuitive, </em><span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">and the results of the converted procedure caused severe blood loss, kidney failure, incontinence and impaired brain function. The company pointed out that it warns surgeons not to operate on patients who are obese like Taylor, and that they are not responsible for the actions of surgeons who use their products. The company is pleased with the trial results. The surgeon, according to reports, has settled with the family confidentially. There are 25 other cases pending across the United States.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Researchers at the University of Leeds were inspired by the
feet of tree frogs to create a model for a surgical robot. The imitation of the
tree frog feet will allow the robot to crawl inside patients’ bodies during
keyhole surgery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The designed robot will be able to move across the internal
abdominal walls of a patient with an attached video device, allowing surgeons
to be able to see what they are doing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Professor Anne Neville, Lead researcher and Royal Academy of
Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies at the University of Leeds, stated,
"Tree frogs have hexagonal patterned channels on their feet that when in
contact with a wet surface build capillary bridges, and hence an adhesion force.
It is the same kind of idea as a beer glass sticking to a beer mat, but the
patterns build a large number of adhesion points that allow our robot to move
around on a very slippery surface when it is upside down."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Further research will be done to reduce the size and weight
of the designed prototype.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was an exciting event. Robotic surgeons from all over the globe met in New Delhi in January 2012. The event: <b>The Vattikuti Global Robotics 2012 Multispecialty Global Robotics Conference</b>. Over three days, topics from every specialty were discussed. We have placed all of the <a href="http://vfrsi.vattikutifoundation.com/repository/videos/45c48cce2e2d7fbdea1afc51c7c6ad26/events" target="_blank">video coverage</a> of the conference on our website. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because there is so much material to cover, we have tried to condense it down into short, informative videos for you to view. If you want to explore further, just look up either the title or the surgeon on our <i>Knowledge Repository</i> search engine.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Videos will also be posted on our blog so <u><b>stay tuned for updates</b></u>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remarks from Mani Menon, Alexandre Mottrie, Indirbir Gill, Prokar Dasgupta, Didier DeCanniere, Ali Zamir Khan, Sangeeta Khanna, Thomas Payne, Ashok Mehta, Koon Rha, Savitha Desai and many other participants are featured. Their insight will excite and inform you. We hope that you will look further at all the videos our website has to offer!</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a big focus in these videos on robotic surgery
teams and how they need to communicate better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Managing expenses, operating room dynamics, anesthesia are all important
topics in some of these programs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
don’t just hear about problems; you get solutions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are all available at the <a href="http://vfrsi.vattikutifoundation.com/" target="_blank">Vattikuti Foundation Website</a>.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for your part in helping to improve lives through
making minimally invasive surgery available to more people throughout the
world!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please share this information
with your colleagues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
