Apollo Hospitals highlighted recent advances in plastic and reconstructive surgery, robotics and artificial intelligence in healthcare. The hospital held a press conference in Kathmandu on August 16 to discuss these developments.
Advances in reconstructive and burn care
Dr Kuldeep Singh, Senior Consultant in Plastic Surgery at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, discussed developments in burn management and reconstructive care. These advances include early wound excision, cadaver skin and improved wound care techniques.
The hospital said these approaches have improved outcomes for patients with extensive burns. They also support rehabilitation and improve patients’ quality of life.
Dr Singh also highlighted advances in microsurgery and reconstructive techniques. These developments have expanded treatment options for patients requiring complex surgical care.
Robotics and AI support surgical care
Dr Arun Prasad, Senior Consultant in General Surgery at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, discussed the growing role of robotics. He also highlighted the increasing use of artificial intelligence across surgical and diagnostic services.
According to Apollo, robotic procedures can support greater surgical precision. AI-assisted systems can also help doctors identify diseases earlier.
These technologies are increasingly becoming part of the hospital’s broader approach to specialised healthcare. The integration of robotics and AI aims to improve treatment outcomes and support faster recovery.
3D planning strengthens surgical preparation
The specialists also discussed the use of 3D surgical planning in complex procedures. Such technologies can help medical teams prepare more precisely before surgery.
The hospital highlighted these developments alongside advances in microsurgery and reconstructive care. Together, they reflect the broader shift towards technology-enabled specialised medicine.
Apollo said its specialists are combining clinical expertise with emerging technologies. The approach aims to improve precision while expanding treatment possibilities for complex medical conditions.
Apollo strengthens regional healthcare outreach
The Kathmandu event also highlighted Apollo Hospitals’ focus on providing specialised medical care to patients from Nepal and the wider region.
The hospital said the event reaffirmed its commitment to sharing specialised expertise and advancing healthcare delivery.
The developments discussed in Kathmandu reflect the growing role of technology in modern healthcare. Robotics, AI, 3D planning and advanced reconstructive techniques are reshaping specialised medical care.
Apollo Hospitals continues to explore these technologies across its surgical and diagnostic services. The hospital expects these advances to support more precise, efficient and patient-focused care.
