I had the privilege of presenting a talk on Robotic D2 Gastrectomy at the MINT Symposium in Boston, organized by Mass General Brigham and Harvard University.
It was an honour to be part of a platform that brings together leading minds in surgery, innovation, and healthcare. My heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Charu Paranjape and Dr. Kumar for organizing such an inspiring event and creating opportunities for meaningful exchange of knowledge and ideas.
During my visit, I also had the opportunity to explore some of the world’s most iconic centres of learning and medicine, including Harvard University, MIT, and Massachusetts General Hospital.
A memorable moment was visiting the historic Ether Dome at Massachusetts General Hospital, the site of the first public demonstration of surgical anesthesia in 1846. Standing in a place that transformed the future of surgery was a truly humbling experience.
Medicine continues to evolve, and the advancements in robotic surgery represent an exciting step towards precision, better outcomes, and improved patient care.
Grateful for the opportunity to learn, share, and contribute to the future of surgical innovation.
