Dipika Kakar stepped out with her family for an outing in the city
Shoaib Ibrahim recently shared a new vlog where he and Dipika responded to the queries of fans who were curious about how she quickly managed to recover after her major surgery. The actress, who stepped out with her husband, Shoaib and their son, Ruhaan shared that her robotic surgery was a key factor behind her fast surgery. For those unaware, unlike traditional open surgery, which leaves a large cut, robotic surgery only requires a few incisions to insert cameras and perform the surgery. Dipika and Shoaib shared that their doctor explained to them that robotic surgery was the best option since the actress’s cancer had not spread. Recalling her doctor’s advice, Dipika said:
“In my case, Dr. Somnath was very keen on robotic surgery. But he also keeps one option open: if there is some complication during the surgery then he has to cut open for the betterment of the patient. Lekin he did it aur uss wajah se mera joh organs nikale gaye woh mere C- section se open karke wahan se organs nikale aur wapas stitch kiya hua hai. So on my stomach area, there are six different small robotic stitches.”
