A Father’s Second Chance: Robotic Prostate Cancer Surgery

When Mr Kamlesh Kumar’s family arrived at Apollo Delhi, they were deeply worried about the risks and recovery associated with open surgery for his prostate cancer[file:1]. At Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, they met Dr Rajesh Taneja, Senior Consultant – Urology, Andrology and Robotic Surgery, who recommended an advanced Robotic Radical Prostatectomy tailored to his condition[file:1][web:33][web:27].

The procedure used robotic precision to remove the cancerous prostate and accurately stage the disease while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues[file:1][web:27]. The surgery was a major success, with negligible blood loss and smooth recovery, giving Mr Kumar a new lease of life and his family the reassurance that they had chosen the right centre for complex urological cancer care[file:1][web:27].

New Hope for a Failing Heart: CRT-D and Conduction System Pacing

Susan Sceta’s journey to Apollo Delhi began after years of heart trouble, including sudden cardiac arrest, a stroke, and a pacemaker that had started to fail[file:2]. Living with dilated cardiomyopathy and a left bundle branch block, she was advised to seek advanced care, and chose Apollo Hospital Delhi for an upgrade that could restore her heart’s function and quality of life[file:2][web:21].

At Apollo, cardiac electrophysiologist Dr Vanita Arora evaluated her in detail and offered a novel combination of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) with Conduction System Pacing, known as Left Bundle Optimized Therapy (LoT CRT-D)[file:2][web:29]. By placing specialized leads to resynchronize her heart’s electrical activity and upgrading her device to a CRT-D system, the team helped improve her heart function, exercise tolerance, and overall confidence to return to everyday life[file:2][web:29].

Behind Every Success: Multispecialty Strength Under One Roof

Outcomes like Mr Kumar’s and Susan’s are possible because Apollo Hospitals Delhi brings together more than 50 specialties under one roof, supported by advanced ICUs, imaging, laboratories, and rehabilitation services[web:21][web:25]. Patients benefit from coordinated care pathways where cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, urologists, anaesthesiologists, oncologists, radiologists, nurses, and physiotherapists collaborate on a single, individualized treatment plan[web:21][web:25].
