I sat down with Dr. B. L. Bairwa, a seasoned general and advanced laparoscopic surgeon, to uncover how technology is reshaping the operating room. From single-incision techniques to robotic arms powered by AI, we explore where human hands end and digital precision begins.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

What drew Dr. Bairwa to minimally invasive surgery, and how the shift from open to laparoscopic surgery transformed surgical practice
Robotic surgery: Is it truly superior — or just expensive hype?
Should AI ever make surgical decisions without human oversight?
Are young surgeons losing crucial skills by depending too much on tech?
The question of accessibility when surgical robots cost millions

India’s technological strides: the SSI Mantra 3 (a Make-in-India robotic surgical system), its promise, and its challenges

We also examine education: are medical colleges in India equipped with laparoscopic and robotic systems to train future surgeons, or are we innovating faster than we can educate?

From ethical dilemmas to real-life OR stories, Dr. Bairwa shares the triumphs and trials of practicing in a high-stakes, high-tech field. Valuable for doctors, students, policy-makers, patients, and anyone interested in where surgery is headed.

🎧 Don’t miss the whole episode—it’s a thought-provoking masterclass in the future of surgical care.

After you listen, reflect:
– Will AI ever replace the surgeon, or refine the surgeon’s role?
– Who gets access to high-tech surgical care—and who’s left behind?
– What does it take to build a future-ready surgical ecosystem?
