Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore

Aster CMI Hospital is a multispeciality hospital in Sahakar Nagar, Hebbal, Bengaluru, within the Aster DM Healthcare network. It accommodates close to 500 beds and provides care from primary services through quaternary treatment. Centres cover cardiac sciences, neurosciences, orthopaedics, women’s health, gastro sciences, renal and urinary medicine, oncology and transplantation.

The multi-organ transplant programme manages acute and chronic organ failure before and after surgery and has a dedicated transplant intensive-care wing. Kidney procedures include living-donor, deceased-donor and pre-emptive transplantation, robotic kidney transplant and laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Renal access work includes arteriovenous fistula creation and CAPD catheter insertion. Integrated liver care includes liver transplantation and minimally invasive or robotic hepatopancreatobiliary surgery.

Robotic operations use SSI Mantra 3 and da Vinci systems. The platforms support selected procedures in urology, oncology, gastroenterology, cardiothoracic surgery, gynaecology and paediatric surgery. High-definition three-dimensional vision and articulated instruments allow the surgeon to control fine movements through small incisions. Transplant infrastructure, advanced imaging, operating theatres and critical care support complex cases requiring several clinical disciplines.

Patients with end-stage kidney or liver disease, heart conditions, neurological disorders, cancer, complex digestive disease or conditions suitable for minimally invasive surgery may find an appropriate programme here. Transplant assessment considers organ failure, infection, cancer, cardiac fitness, donor compatibility and the person’s ability to continue long-term medicines and follow-up. A conventional, laparoscopic or robot-assisted approach is chosen by the surgical team according to anatomy and clinical need. The hospital’s broad specialist base can be helpful when organ disease coexists with cardiac, endocrine, infectious or other medical problems.
