The only robotic-arm-assisted surgical device to conduct joint replacement with accuracy and better clinical outcomes
Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai (Kokilaben Hospital) announced the clinical launch of its first-ever robotic-arm assisted surgical system, Stryker Mako, one of the most advanced ortho-robotic technologies in the world for joint replacement surgery. The first two cases using the new robotic system were successfully performed by Dr Subhash Dhiware, Consultant, Orthopedics, Kokilaben Dhirubhai
Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai with his team. An external proctor from Stryker, one of the world’s leading medical technology companies was present to support the team and attest to the successful deployment of the system at Kokilaben Hospital.
The Mako robotic system, approved by the US FDA, has revolutionized the way total hip, total knee and partial knee replacements are performed. Kokilaben Hospital, Navi Mumbai is the first in Navi Mumbai to have the Mako robotic systems, the most advanced technology for joint replacement.
Dr Subhash Dhiware, Consultant, Orthopaedics, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai said, “The evolution of technology in the field of orthopaedic surgery today enables precise and flawless joint replacements as compared to manual surgery. Mako’s CT-based planning creates a 3D model of the diseased joint to give the surgeon a complete view of the patient’s joint and the defect. This allows the surgeon to prepare a personalised plan for each patient. This is especially important as every patient’s joint structure is different, and arthritis or other joint damage results in further alteration of the joint.”
Dr Bipin Chevale, Director and Head, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai, said, “It is a matter of pride that we are the first hospital to bring Stryker Mako advanced ortho-robotic technology for the benefit of patients in the city. This is another milestone in the evolution of the Centre of Excellence for Bone and Joint care at Kokilaben Hospital, Navi Mumbai.”
