The launch of robotic surgery here will benefit countless patients and raise the standard of orthopaedic care in the region
Udai Omni Hospital, a 50 year old renowned centre of excellence in orthopaedics and trauma care in South India, unveiled its ultra-modern surgical robot. The advanced Misso robotic system was inaugurated by D Sridhar Babu, Minister for Information Technology & Industries, Government of Telangana in the presence of senior consultants, patients, and distinguished guests, at the hospital premises.
The robotic joint replacement unit is led by Dr Udai Prakash FRCS (Tr & Orth) UK, Chief of Joint Replacement Surgery, a veteran with over three decades of surgical expertise and thousands of successful knee and hip replacements to his credit.
D Sridhar Babu said, “The launch of robotic surgery here will benefit countless patients and raise the standard of orthopaedic care in the region. Technology has become a powerful catalyst for positive change in human lives, ushering us into a new era of medical excellence. With the advent of cutting-edge innovations, the transformation in healthcare is nothing short of remarkable.”
Dr Udai Prakash highlighted, “Robotic knee replacement offers enhanced precision for implant placement and bone cuts, minimizing errors and improving fit. Allows better gap balancing, personalised alignment, and a more natural- feeling joint. This minimally invasive approach results in less tissue damage, reduced pain, faster recovery and lower infection rate. The system provides real-time feedback, reducing human error. Patients experience faster healing, reduced swelling, and quicker return to normal activities. Studies suggest improved implant longevity due to better alignment and fixation.”
Dr Udai Prakash mentioned, “This indigenously developed robot is now competing with the best in the world and moving to Europe and America. A group of Italian surgeons is visiting our hospitals to observe this Indian robot. The robot restores the native alignment of the patient under treatment, which makes him comfortable, besides balancing the knee in every degree of movement, the knee feels much more balanced, and helps the individual to lead a normal life. The beauty about this robot is, it will be able to do spine, hip, partial knee replacement, trauma treatment etc, in the next 12 to 24 months.”
