Jhansi Orthopedic Hospital Unveils Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery

The new robotic system assists surgeons in performing knee replacements accurately, leveraging advanced imaging and computer-guided tools.

In a significant development, Jhansi Orthopedic Hospital has launched robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery.

The new robotic system assists surgeons in performing knee replacements accurately, leveraging advanced imaging and computer-guided tools.

Further, by enhancing the precision of bone cuts and the alignment of implants, the technology aims to improve the longevity and functionality of knee prosthetics.

Sharing thoughts, Dr Arun Gupta, chief orthopedic surgeon, Jhansi Orthopedic Hospital, said, "This robotic system is a game-changer. It allows us to achieve levels of precision that were previously unattainable with traditional methods. Our patients can look forward to faster recovery times, reduced pain, and a quicker return to their daily activities."

This advanced technology is expected to transform the precision and efficacy of knee replacement procedures, offering better outcomes for patients.

About Robotic-Assisted Surgery

The implementation of robotic-assisted surgery at Jhansi Orthopedic Hospital is part of a broader effort to modernize medical care in the region.

Historically, patients in remote areas have faced significant barriers to accessing advanced surgical procedures. The introduction of this technology is expected to bridge that gap, providing advanced care close to home.

For surgeons, the system offers real-time feedback and data, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions during the operation.

This support is crucial in ensuring that each step of the procedure is executed with the utmost precision, thereby minimizing the risk of complications.

Reportedly, the robotic system’s ability to make precise cuts and alignments translates to less trauma to the surrounding tissues, which in turn leads to reduced postoperative pain and a shorter hospital stay.

Early case studies have shown promising results, with many patients experiencing a significant improvement in their mobility and quality of life within weeks of surgery.

"Investing in this technology is an investment in our patients' futures. We are committed to providing the highest standard of care and ensuring that our patients receive the best possible outcomes," Dr Gupta added.

According to Hospital, plans are already underway to expand the use of robotic assistance to other types of orthopedic surgeries, including hip replacements and complex fracture repairs.

The hospital’s leadership is optimistic about the long-term impact of this initiative. They believe that the success of the robotic-assisted knee replacement program will attract more skilled healthcare professionals to the region, further enhancing the quality of care available to local residents.

Trend of Robotics in Healthcare

Kolkata-based Peerless Hospital launched humanoid robotics, the latest technology for hip, knee, and shoulder replacement with 3D robotics.

The robotics technology leverages the AI platform, and mixed reality with Hololens powered by Microsoft which is a pioneering initiative in Eastern India, claimed the company.

With this move, the hospital aims to enhance precision, improve patient outcomes, and revolutionize the field of orthopedic surgery.

Last year, Government-run MNJ Cancer Hospital, Hyderabad installed Da Vinci Robotic Systems to treat cancer patients free of cost, especially those hailing from economically weaker sections.

The newly installed Robotic Systems are known for their advanced set of instrumentation and precision. It translates the surgeon's hand movements at the console in real-time, bending and rotating the instruments while performing the surgery.

Moreover, the robot’s tiny wrist-like instruments, which are controlled by the doctor, move with great precision and range of motion that enable the surgeon to remove tumors present at tricky locations.
