Veteran Indian Cricketer Kapil Dev unveils the technology
Manipal Hospital, Kharadi near Pune introduced cutting-edge robotic technology for advanced orthopaedic surgeries. The technology aims to improve knee replacement and joint treatment with robotic-assisted surgeries in Pune and nearby cities. The evolution in orthopaedic treatment and the introduction of robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgeries have minimised the risks associated with knee replacement.
Veteran Indian cricketer Kapil Dev said, “I would like to congratulate Manipal Hospital Kharadi for introducing the new and advanced robotic technology for joint replacement. In cricket, we constantly strive to improve our equipment and techniques for better performance. Similarly, the advancement in healthcare, one of which is robotic-assisted surgery, has improved the treatment options for people suffering from orthopaedic problems. As a sportsman, I understand the impact of joint injuries and the importance of faster recovery and this new robotic technology at Manipal Hospital is a game-changer in orthopaedic treatment options available in the city. It offers faster recovery, less pain, and a quicker return to an active lifestyle.”
Dr Sinukumar Bhaskaran, Adult Joint Replacement & Reconstruction and Robotic Arthroplasty (Hip & Knee), Manipal Hospital, Kharadi, Pune said, “Our focus is on improving patient outcomes, and this robotic technology is a step towards offering quality orthopaedic treatment. Robotic-assisted surgery is not only beneficial for the doctors performing complex surgeries but also for the patient by offering faster recoveries and reduced pain improving the quality of life post-surgery. The new system allows personalised 3D CT scans, delivering sub-millimeter accuracy and enhanced safety with real-time bone movement monitoring for more precise implant surgery and reduced risk of infection. With a success rate of 98 per cent, this meticulous precision results in longer-lasting joint replacements, reducing the need for costly and invasive revision surgeries. Using this technology and our unique clinical pathways, our hospital can offer patients fast-track knee surgery where the patients can go home within 24 hours.
Parmeswar Das, Director, Manipal Hospital, Kharadi said, “Clinical Excellence and patient centricity is at the heart of all we do at Manipal Hospital, Kharadi. We are committed to providing our patients with access to the latest advancements in healthcare technology. The addition of this advanced robotic technology has ushered in a new era of orthopaedic surgery that places a premium on accuracy, safety, and better patient results. This innovative technology allows us to offer our patients a minimally invasive procedure with the potential for faster recovery times, improved precision, and ultimately, a better quality of life.”
