Chennai Urology and Robotics Institute (CURI) Hospital is a premier institute for treatment of renal diseases and has successfully completed more than 600 robotic surgeries. It is also a kidney transplant centre and one of the first hospitals in India to pioneer Transperineal Biopsy and UroLift procedure in treatment of BPH.
CURI hospital is proud to celebrate 600+ Robotic surgeries done. It also celebrates the patients who have boldly fought cancer and have been an encouragement for the team to do even better.
To encourage and educate the future Robotic Surgeons, “CURI Hospital Robotic Urologic Surgery Fellowship” was introduced in the year 2020 as a mark of its first anniversary. This fellowship programme provides hands-on training to mould surgeons in the various aspects of Robotic Urologic Surgery. CURI hospital has been recognised as a training centre for Vattikutti fellowship in (urology). Many Robotic Surgeons have been trained through the fellowships, who in turn have gone out to spread the ethics and skill learnt at the hospital to the benefits of patients in their part of the country.
Their spokesperson says, “ To create awareness among the future Robotic surgeons and people about robotic surgery, CURI Hospital had celebrations for over 3 days. Awareness and live demonstration of the Da Vinci Robot was done for college students and staff on June 2. On June 3, CME program was conducted for Urologists and post graduates, in association with Madras Urological Association. Our surgeons demonstrated how the robot works, and its advantages over laparoscopy and open surgery. This event helped give a hands-on training session on Robotic Stimulator. On June 4 a public awareness programme was conducted, in which, Akhila Srinivasan, Director, Shriram Life Insurance Co. Ltd was the chief guest. Cancer survivors who underwent robotic surgery also spoke about their experiences and rehabilitation after Robotic Surgery.”
The hospital is at No.148, Okkiyam Thoraipakkam, OMR. Ph: 93442 57901, 73974 54180.
