Doctors in Lucknow have saved the life of a man who suffered from internal injuries due to a road accident.

The patient, a 45-year-old man, had fallen from his bike while trying to avoid cattle crossing the road. The impact from the bike handle caused a blunt injury to his upper abdomen. 

While he was initially at a peripheral centre, he was showing signs of internal bleeding and drop in hemoglobin levels when he reached Medanta Super Speciality Hospital, where the doctors began his treatment, which they claim is India’s first robotic-assisted surgery to treat injuries caused by a road accident.
