SIUT showcases breakthrough in digital surgery

KARACHI:

The Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) has premiered Pakistan's first web series focusing on robotic surgery, highlighting the need for advanced surgical techniques, the challenges involved, and the future of digital surgery in the country.

Titled "Precision with Purpose," the documentary highlights patient experiences, medical ethics, surgical technology, and the vital role of technicians and nurses trained at SIUT. The three-episode series runs 30-35 minutes per episode.

The series stands out for featuring real patients, doctors, and medical staff, documenting actual clinical experiences to help viewers understand the background and workflow of robotic surgery in an authentic way.

Speaking at the premiere held at Nueplex Cinemas, SIUT robotic surgeon and trustee Dr Irfan Rizvi told The Express Tribune that the perception that Pakistan lags in modern medical innovation is unfounded. "In reality, Pakistan's healthcare system has strengths matched by very few countries. Advanced surgical options are accessible here even to low-income patients, and free treatment is provided with dignity," he said.
