Lucknow — In a groundbreaking stride toward advanced women’s healthcare, ApolloMedics Super Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, has given new life to women suffering from years of chronic pain caused by endometriosis, adenomyosis, and fibroids. The hospital’s renowned expert, Dr. Neha Negi (Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Reproductive Medicine, Advanced Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgeon), successfully performed two highly complex robotic surgeries, restoring hope to patients who had been told their conditions were untreatable.
The first patient had been battling severe endometriosis for nearly a decade, having undergone multiple procedures — including laparoscopic cystectomy, open fibroid surgery, and even hysterectomy — yet continued to suffer excruciating pain. Her pelvic organs were severely adhered due to the disease, making traditional surgery nearly impossible. Most hospitals refused her case, fearing intestinal or bladder injury during surgery. Years of hormonal therapy had also led her to depression.
At ApolloMedics, Dr. Negi and her team used robotic surgical precision to safely remove deep-seated endometriotic tissue and recurrent cysts while preserving vital organs. The robotic system’s high magnification and millimetre-level accuracy proved crucial in performing the intricate procedure. Post-surgery, the patient became completely symptom-free, and her CA-125 levels — often elevated in endometriosis — returned to normal.
Explaining the significance of the test, Dr. Negi said, “CA-125 can rise in endometriosis but does not always indicate cancer. Patients often panic after online searches. It’s essential to consult specialists rather than rely on internet information.”
The second case involved a young unmarried woman with multiple fibroids, adenomyosis, and a massively enlarged uterus reaching up to her navel. Most hospitals advised hysterectomy, but Dr. Negi chose robotic myomectomy to preserve her fertility. The robotic technique allowed clear differentiation between normal and abnormal tissues, significantly reducing blood loss. All fibroids and adenomyotic growths were successfully removed, saving the patient’s uterus.
“Robotic technology is a boon for complex cases where the pelvis is densely adhered,” said Dr. Negi. “Its tenfold magnification and wrist-like movement precision allow us to operate at the millimetre level, protect vital organs, and give patients lasting relief.”
Dr. Mayank Somani, Managing Director and CEO of ApolloMedics Super Speciality Hospital, commended the achievement:
“Dr. Neha Negi and her team’s success reflects the power of modern medicine and our commitment to offering world-class healthcare. These surgeries prove that women who have lived with pain for years can now lead healthy, normal lives. ApolloMedics remains dedicated to bringing the latest technology for patient care.”
This milestone is a beacon of hope for thousands of women struggling with complex gynaecological conditions. By combining robotic precision with compassionate care, ApolloMedics has not only eliminated years of pain but also preserved fertility and improved quality of life — setting a new benchmark in women’s robotic surgery in India.
