Unlike conventional robotic systems, Misso is built to seamlessly integrate into operation theatres, regardless of space constraints, making advanced robotic surgery accessible across India.
Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad, has successfully completed 100 robotic knee replacement surgeries using Misso, India's first fully automatic robotic system for total knee replacement.
The milestone gains prominence as Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently acknowledged the Misso system at the inauguration of Namo Hospital in Silvassa, highlighting India's leadership in "Make in India" healthcare innovations.
Sharing thoughts, Dr Sujoy Bhattacharjee, HOD & Director - Robotic Joint Replacement at Sarvodaya Hospital, said, "The adoption of Misso at Sarvodaya marks a significant leap for India's healthcare innovation. We are proud to be torchbearers in the adoption of homegrown robotic technology that not only transforms knee replacement surgery but also instils confidence in hospitals across the country."
Misso has drawn admiration from surgeons worldwide, including those in Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Italy, for its precision, efficiency, and ergonomic design.
Unlike conventional robotic systems, Misso is built to seamlessly integrate into operation theatres, regardless of space constraints, making advanced robotic surgery accessible across India.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Rakesh Gupta, Chairman of Sarvodaya Healthcare remarked, "We have successfully performed 100 surgeries using Misso, transforming the lives of patients across different age groups, medical complexities, and even deformities. From a 65-year-old male with bilateral knee tenderness and crepitus to a 46-year-old female suffering from bilateral joint line tenderness and varus deformity, each case presented unique challenges. Yet, through advanced surgical expertise, we have restored mobility and ensured a pain-free life for our patients at Sarvodaya. We take pride in supporting 'Make in India' innovations that are redefining healthcare standards and paving the way for groundbreaking medical advancements."
The use of Misso marks a shift from dependency on imported robotic systems to pioneering indigenous solutions. Sarvodaya's achievement serves as a benchmark, encouraging other healthcare institutions to embrace Indian technology for superior patient outcomes.
With Misso, India is not just adopting global standards, it's setting them.
