The Effectiveness and Efficiency of Robotic Surgery in Indonesia Bundamedik Healthcare System ( BMHS ), a holistic healthcare ecosystem in Indonesia that manages Bunda Hospitals , has helped provide patients in Indonesia with comprehensive medical treatment . Robotic Surgery is one of the top procedures offered at one of its hospitals , Bunda Jakarta General Hospital .

By being the first hospital to offer Robotic Surgery technology in Indonesia in 2012 , Bunda Jakarta General Hospital has contributed to upgrading medical services in the country , successfully conducting over 700 robotic surgeries .

This procedure can address and treat a wide variety of diseases , including thyroid cancer , benign tumors , uterine cancer , digestive or gastrointestinal issues , prostate cancer , and ENT ( ear , nose , and throat ) problems .

“ As we understand the patients ’ need , we are proactively advancing the quality of our medical personnel and services . Furthermore , we want to use robotic technology in a wider field of specializations ,” said Dr Amiruddin Hamigu , MM , MARS , Hospital Director of Bunda General Hospital Jakarta .

The use of modern medical technology and computerized systems like robotic surgery have enabled doctors to treat their patients more effectively , reducing the side effects of traditional surgery including noticeable scarring , substantial surgical risks , and protracted healing times .

In its early stages of development , robotic surgery was used in oncology to treat early-stage prostate cancer , with patients benefiting from minimally invasive surgery and fast recovery , but over time surgeons have also used it to remove kidney tumours .

Dr Agus Rizal A . H . Hamid , Sp . U ( K ), PhD , a urologist at Bunda General Hospital in Jakarta , explained that renal and urinary tract reconstruction cases have also been treated with robotic surgery , which is being tested as a treatment for kidney transplant as well .

In October 2022 , Bunda General Hospital Jakarta successfully performed the first robotic ENT surgery for cancer patients . The operation went smoothly because of the surgeons ’ skills and the care the patient received from licensed medical professionals .

Fast recovery is one of the advantages of robotic surgery in ENT .

( Dr Agus Rizal A . H . Hamid , Sp . U ( K ), PhD and his team have successfully performed a robotic radical prostatectomy , or prostate removal procedure using robotic technology )

In vocal cord tumor cases , for instance , patients usually stay in the hospital one or two days after surgery because robotic surgery doesn ’ t require a neck incision like traditional open surgery but it can be carried out through the oral cavity , Dr Noval Aldino , Sp . THT- BKL , remarked .

In comparison to other Southeast Asian nations , robotic surgery expenses in Indonesia are relatively reasonable , with patients able to save up to 50 / 60 percent . As a prominent healthcare provider in Indonesia , Bunda General Hospital Jakarta is always committed to the best and advanced services because our patients ’ health and comfort are our first and foremost priority .
