It is not new to hear people making advancements in science and medicine every other day but when it’s someone from your country, the pride and happiness increase. Similarly, Dr. Amer Raza is a Pakistani doctor who has brought a great name to his nation, career, and field.
He is now the only Pakistani surgeon who holds a world record for robotic surgeries in women. Dr. Amer Raza is now leading the innovative Da Vinci surgical robotic system to treat endometriosis, a condition that impacts women of all ages and can affect pregnancy.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition where cells similar to the lining of the uterus grow outside of it. It mainly affects the pelvic area and can cover the ovaries and fallopian tubes. It can also affect nearby organs like the bowel and bladder. It occurs in almost one in 10 women in the UK according to Dr Amer Raza.
In more than half of the cases, endometriosis progresses and leads to significant and debilitating issues, including problems with the bowel and ureter not to mention the constant pelvic and period pain.
About half of the cases involve the ovaries, potentially resulting in damage to the ovaries and affecting fertility. Many women worldwide suffer from this condition at different ages. But now with robotic surgeries and doctors like Dr Amer Raza, there might be more hope.
Dr. Amer Raza And How He Did It
Dr. Raza, a skilled surgeon from Nishtar Medical College in Multan, has led a team of surgeons at London’s Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, he used advanced robotic technology to perform a record-breaking number of complex operations. In just one day, he successfully completed 12 major surgeries, setting a new world record.
Dr. Raza and his team implemented a well-planned care model for their surgeries. By using robotic surgery, they were able to complete operations more quickly, saving around 30-50 minutes per surgery. This allowed them to perform more surgeries in a shorter time. The new technique also resulted in less blood loss and faster recovery for patients. Dr. Raza credited the efficient teamwork of 20 staff members for their success in achieving this milestone.
Can Robotic Surgeries Be Brought to Pakistan?
Dr. Raza expressed his gratitude to Pakistan and shared his plans to collaborate with doctors and hospitals in the country to introduce robotic technology for the benefit of women.
