FORTIS UNVEILS TREAT PROGRAM FOR ADVANCED ROBOTIC TRANSPLANTS

Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, has advanced its robot-aided infrastructure with the launch of the TREAT program (Total Robot Enabled and Assisted Transplant) – a pioneering initiative in robot-assisted kidney transplantation. TREAT combines an Advanced Robotic Surgical Ecosystem with patient-centric protocols to deliver superior clinical outcomes, particularly in Kidney transplant scenarios, which are complex. By using two robot-assisted systems simultaneously, one for the donor and one for the recipient, the program minimizes trauma, reduces recovery time and enhances surgical precision to an unprecedented degree.

In India, where most living kidney donors are women who need to manage multiple roles, TREAT is breaking new ground by equally prioritizing donor health by placing equal importance on the well-being of the donor alongside the recipients. TREAT also opens new doors for recipients with co-morbidities, those with obesity, prior history of transplants or complex anatomical challenges, who previously had limited surgical options. With robotic precision, these patients now have access to lifesaving procedures once deemed too risky or unfeasible.
