| Robotic Surgery | Keyhole surgery | Less Pain, Less hospital stay, Early recovery |
| Better View (3D, 10x, HD) | Less blood loss, Better nerve preservation | |

Dr Swati Shah, MS, DrNB (Surgical Oncology), performs robotic and open ovarian cancer surgery at Apollo Hospital, Bhat, Gandhinagar, near Ahmedabad.
It is keyhole surgery in which the surgeon controls robotic instruments from a console, with a magnified 3D view and wristed instruments. The ovarian tumour and any involved tissue are removed through small incisions instead of one long cut.
Robotic surgery suits early-stage ovarian cancer, staging procedures and complex ovarian masses; advanced disease with widespread deposits needs an open operation.
For suitable patients, robotic surgery usually means less pain, less blood loss and an earlier return to normal life than open surgery.
| Feature | Open surgery | Robotic surgery |
|---|---|---|
| Incision | One long cut | Small keyhole cuts |
| Blood loss | More | Less |
| Return to routine | 4 to 6 weeks | 2 to 3 weeks |
The most widely used platform in India is the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical). It gives the surgeon high-definition 3D vision and fully wristed instruments for precise work deep in the pelvis.
What matters most for survival is removing all visible cancer. In carefully selected patients the robot helps do this precisely, with less damage to nearby nerves and tissue and fewer wound problems. In advanced disease spread across the abdomen, open cytoreductive surgery is often still the better way to achieve complete removal.
Ovarian cytoreduction ranges from ₹3,50,000 to ₹5,00,000, and cytoreduction with HIPEC from ₹5,50,000 to ₹7,00,000.
Yes. Cashless treatment through health insurance is available for ovarian cancer surgery. See the cashless treatment page for details.
Most patients walk the same evening, leave hospital in two to four days, and return to routine activity within two to three weeks.
Smaller incisions usually mean faster wound healing, so adjuvant chemotherapy can begin on schedule after the histopathology report.
A complex ovarian mass, ascites or a raised CA-125 should be assessed by a gynaecologic oncologist within two weeks of the scan.
