Renowned robotic surgeon Dr Peter C Lim, who has performed over 4,000 robot-aided surgeries worldwide, has honoured Dr Swapna Misra, Director of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Fortis Hospital, Mohali, for performing the highest number of robotic surgeries in India.

Dr Misra, a leading robotic laparoscopic and cancer surgeon, has treated numerous women with complex gynaecological conditions using the advanced Da Vinci Xi system. Trained under Dr Lim in the USA, she is India’s only TR 500-trained robotic surgeon.

Praising Fortis Mohali’s robotic surgery programme, Dr Lim highlighted its success and the hospital’s acquisition of a second Da Vinci Xi robot. Dr Misra emphasised that robotic surgery had revolutionised gynaecological treatments, offering minimally invasive procedures with faster recovery.

Fortis management and senior doctors were present at the event.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
