Tele-robotic surgery in Kaushambi, Ghaziabad
Advanced robotic surgery at Novo Robotic Surgery Centre
What is tele-robotic surgery?
Tele-robotic surgery — also called remote robotic surgery — lets a surgeon operate using a robotic system while sitting at a console, which may be in the same theatre or at another centre altogether. The surgeon is in control the whole time; the robot only carries out what the surgeon's hands tell it to do.
It allows an experienced robotic surgeon to treat patients who cannot easily travel to a specialist centre. Every movement travels over a secure, high-speed link, and a full surgical team stays with the patient in the operating theatre throughout.

Procedural workflow
How does the surgeon perform tele-robotic surgery?
The procedure runs as a continuous loop between the surgeon and the robot. Each stage below happens within milliseconds of the one before it.
- Step 01
The surgeon sits at the robotic console
Dr. Vikrant Sharma sits at a dedicated surgical console with a magnified 3D view of the operating field, either inside the operating theatre or at a remote centre.

- Step 02
The surgeon controls the instruments
Hand and finger movements at the console are translated into instrument movement. Natural tremor is filtered out and large motions are scaled down for fine control.
Tremor filtration + motion scaling
- Step 03
Movements are transmitted
Each movement is sent as an encrypted data signal over a secure, high-speed, low-latency network to the robotic system standing beside the patient.
AES-256 encrypted transmission
- Step 04
The robotic system reproduces the movement
Robotic arms holding wristed instruments reproduce the movement inside the patient's body through incisions of roughly 8 mm, with a range of motion beyond the human wrist.
Wristed instruments, 7 degrees of freedom
- Step 05
The surgeon sees it happen in real time
Live video returns to the console in the same instant, so the surgeon watches each movement land and adjusts continuously — exactly as in open surgery.
Continuous closed-loop feedback
- Step 06
The on-site team stays with the patient
A trained surgical and anaesthesia team remains physically present with the patient throughout the procedure, ready to take over at any point.

Clinical distinction
Robotic surgery and tele-robotic surgery: what changes?
Both use the same robotic platform and the same instruments. The difference is where the surgeon sits, and what carries the movement from the console to the patient.
| Parameter | Robotic surgery | Tele-robotic surgeryAt Novo |
|---|---|---|
| Where the surgeon sits | At a console inside the same operating theatre | At a console inside the theatre, or at a remote centre |
| Who controls the instruments | The surgeon — the robot never acts on its own | The surgeon — the robot never acts on its own |
| Incisions | Usually 8 mm keyhole incisions, depending on the procedure | Usually 8 mm keyhole incisions, depending on the procedure |
| On-site surgical team | Present with the patient | Present with the patient |
| What links console to robot | A direct cable connection within the theatre | A secure, encrypted, high-speed communication network |
| What it changes | Precision and control beyond the human hand | The same precision, without distance limiting access to it |
Clinical specialities
Procedures performed with the robotic platform
Robotic assistance is considered for a range of general, bariatric, gynaecological and cancer procedures. Suitability is decided case by case after assessment.
Gallbladder surgery
Robotic cholecystectomy
Hernia repair
Inguinal, ventral and incisional hernia
Appendix surgery
Robotic appendicectomy
Bariatric surgery
Sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass
Colorectal surgery
Colon and rectal procedures
Gynaecological surgery
Uterine and ovarian procedures
Cancer surgery
Selected gastrointestinal and gynaecologic cancers
Upper GI surgery
Stomach and oesophagus procedures
Whether a robotic or tele-robotic approach suits you depends on your diagnosis, prior surgeries and general fitness for anaesthesia. Dr. Sharma will confirm this at consultation.
Clinical governance
Is tele-surgery safe?
The system is built so that no single failure can affect the patient. The robot cannot move on its own, instruments stop the moment the surgeon's hands leave the controls, and the network runs on a dedicated link with a second path held in reserve.
Just as importantly, tele-surgery does not replace the operating theatre. A qualified surgeon, anaesthetist and scrub team are with you for the entire procedure and can take over conventionally at any moment.
The patient is never alone
A full surgical and anaesthesia team stays at the bedside for the whole procedure.
The link is encrypted and redundant
Dedicated high-speed connectivity with an automatic fallback path if quality drops.
The surgeon can hand over instantly
If anything is unclear, control passes to the on-site surgeon without pausing the case.
Centre of excellence
Tele-robotic surgery at Novo Robotic Surgery Centre
Novo Robotic Surgery Centre in Kaushambi, Ghaziabad brings an advanced robotic platform together with a surgical team led by Dr. Vikrant Sharma, who has over two decades of experience in minimal-access surgery.
The focus is on combining that experience with technology that measurably helps patients — smaller incisions, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to normal activity.
