Saudi German Hospital Dubai Performs RoboticScope-Assisted Tympanoplasty with Mastoidectomy
By Dr Rohit Gulati Specialist ENT, Endoscopic Sinus & Ear Surgeon
Dubai, UAE – August 2025
In a significant advancement for ENT surgery in the region, Saudi German Hospital Dubai recently performed a RoboticScope-assisted Tympanoplasty with Mastoidectomy. The complex procedure was successfully led by Dr. Rohit Gulati, Specialist ENT, Endoscopic Sinus Surgeon & Microscopic/Endoscopic Ear Surgeon.
This surgery represents a major step forward in ear surgery by integrating advanced robotic-assisted visualization technology. The procedure involved the treatment of chronic ear disease through the repair of the tympanic membrane (eardrum) and removal of diseased mastoid bone - a technically demanding operation that requires precision and finesse.
“This case involved a patient with chronic ear disease requiring both tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy - a complex procedure that demands extreme precision within very narrow anatomical spaces,” explained Dr. Rohit Gulati. “Using the RoboticScope, I was able to maintain a stable, magnified 3D view of the surgical site while freely adjusting my working angle through head gestures. This hands-free control enabled me to focus entirely on the surgical field without interruptions. The result was a more accurate dissection, minimal tissue disruption, and a smoother postoperative recovery for the patient.”
A New Frontier in ENT Surgery
The RoboticScope enhances ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) procedures by offering surgeons hands-free, 3D, high-definition visualization of the surgical site. It allows access to hard-to-reach areas with ergonomic flexibility and enhanced precision, reducing the margin for error. For patients, this often means minimally invasive surgery, fewer complications, faster recovery, and improved outcomes.
Dr. Ahmed Eissa, Group CEO at Saudi German Health UAE, commented:
“Integrating RoboticScope technology into our surgical practice reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, innovative care. This achievement highlights the expertise of Dr. Gulati and the dedication of our entire team at Saudi German Hospital Dubai. We are proud to continue raising the standards of healthcare in the region.”
This achievement reaffirms Saudi German Hospital Dubai’s leadership in adopting cutting-edge technologies that prioritize patient safety, comfort, and outcomes.
