Apollo Hospitals Jubilee Hills announced a historic medical milestone – Dr. Rooma Sinha, Senior Consultant in Gynaecology and Robotic Surgery, has performed over 1,000 robotic surgeries for benign Gynaecological conditions, making her India’s highest-volume single surgeon in this field.

Specializing in the treatment of complex fibroids and advanced endometriosis, Dr. Sinha has become a globally recognized name in robotic-assisted gynaecology. This achievement represents not only a personal surgical feat but also a transformative leap in minimally invasive, fertility-preserving care for women in India. ‘This achievement underscores Apollo’s position as the premier destination for robotic surgery in India,’ said Dr. Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals Group.

On this occasion, Dr. Rooma Sinha said ‘In India, fibroids affect an estimated 25–50% of reproductive-age women, while up to 10% suffer from endometriosis—conditions that often lead to infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and repeated surgeries. Traditional open surgeries pose significant risks, including longer recovery times and reduced fertility outcomes.’

'Recognizing the urgent need for safer, precision-based, and fertility-preserving solutions, I adopted advanced robotic surgery to revolutionize gynaecologic care. My mission is simple: No woman should undergo open surgery when a safer, minimally invasive option exists. This milestone isn’t just mine—it belongs to every patient who trusted me, every student I have taught, and every woman we have helped to heal with dignity improving their quality of life,’ she said.
