About ARIS

Association of Robotic & lnnovative Surgeons

Robotic surgery is the new future of surgery world over recent advances in equipment and surgical techniques have made minimally invasive surgery popular and one of the most effective technique in several fields of surgery. It has several advantages over standard surgical approaches, including
  • Rapid recovery
  • Lower rate of post-operative infection
  • Decreased pain
  • Better postoperative immune function
  • Cosmetic results
In this way, robotics-assisted surgery has gained popularity in several surgical specialties globally, and many institutions are investing in medical robotic technology for applications in General surgery, Urological, Head and Neck, Gynaecological, and Neurological surgery. This new and exciting technology is shown and proven to have better or comparable outcomes and can be cost-effective in the long run when compared with conventional surgical approaches.
Recognizing the increasing need to consolidate the field and to promote awareness and continue educational research in the field of robotics, surgical skills, new and innovative methods and protocols, We, the following founders had decided to establish the society, “Association of Robotic and Innovative Surgeons” (ARIS), to facilitate the dispersal of this emerging field of surgical technology world over.
The association proposes to have its first-ever conference on the 30th April and 1st May at Guwahati to commemorate the launch of the society.
Ten most deserving member delegates will have the opportunity to be trained Nationally and Internationally (Full Sponsored Training) in Robotic Surgery.
