The Evolution of Surgical Techniques: A Glimpse into the Past, Present, and Future

Tracing the Evolution of Surgical Procedures: Insights from renowned surgeon Dr. Aloy J Mukherjee



September in Delhi not only marks the transition from the sweltering heat to pleasant autumn but also a period of reflection and anticipation. As the leaves turn golden, it's a perfect time to reflect upon the evolution of surgical techniques, much like the changing seasons.



The Bygone Era: The Humble Beginnings

In ancient times, surgery was rudimentary, performed with sharpened stones or bones. Without anesthesia, these procedures were painful and had high mortality rates. Techniques were based more on trial and error rather than scientific understanding.

The 20th Century: Dawn of Modern Surgery

The invention of anesthesia in the late 19th century revolutionized surgeries. The 20th century witnessed the introduction of sterilization, reducing post-surgery infections. In India, with cities like Delhi at the forefront, hospitals started employing more advanced surgical techniques, improving patient outcomes.





Present Day: Minimally Invasive Procedures

With the advancements in technology, surgeries have become less invasive. Laparoscopic surgery, one of Dr. Aloy J Mukherjee's specialities, allows operations with small incisions, ensuring quicker recovery and less post-operative pain. Techniques like robotic surgery are also gaining popularity in metropolitan cities like Delhi.

The Future: Virtual Reality, AI, and Beyond

The horizon looks promising. With the integration of AI and virtual reality, the possibility of remote surgeries could soon become a reality. Training surgeons using VR simulations could also ensure better patient outcomes.

Dr. Aloy J Mukherjee's Take on the Evolution

Being a renowned Bariatric, Laparoscopic, and General Surgeon in Delhi, Dr. Mukherjee has observed these evolutions firsthand. He believes in continuous learning and adapting to offer the best to his patients.
