Sakra World Hospital proudly announces a landmark achievement becoming the first hospital in Karnataka to perform over 550 robotic cardiac surgeries and the fastest centre worldwide to reach this milestone, as validated by official Da Vinci surgical system data. This feat was accomplished in under three years, with an impressive year-on-year growth of 40%, placing Sakra at the forefront of global innovation in minimally invasive cardiac care.
Highlighting the human impact of this technology, Dr. Adil Sadiq, Director and Head –
Cardio Thoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) at Sakra World Hospital, Bengaluru shared the story of a recent patient: “A 78-year-old man from Gulbarga came to us after being refused surgery by multiple major centres, including those in metropolitan cities. He had severely reduced heart pumping power, was frail, had kidney issues with a single functioning kidney, and was not fit for angioplasty. Despite the risks, our team took on the challenge using robotic surgery. The procedure was successful, he recovered well, and was able to return home — something that would have been nearly impossible with conventional surgery. Stories like his are why we push the boundaries of what’s possible.”
Over the past decade, Sakra has emerged as one of the few centres worldwide to rapidly
adopt and master this highly specialized surgical technology, powered by the advanced Da
Vinci robotic system. Patients from across India and abroad continue to choose Sakra for its
unmatched expertise, proven outcomes, and commitment to delivering world-class cardiac
care.
