This new program will be led by Dr. Sukhpal Singh Mann and Dr. Aditya Bhardwaj, Senior Consultant, Ortho and Joint Replacement.
Dr. Sukhpal Singh Mann said that this state-of-the-art technology will help in performing highly precise and customized knee replacement surgery as per the patient’s requirement, ensuring better positioning of the implant, proper alignment and maximum preservation of healthy bone and soft tissues.
Dr. Aditya Bhardwaj said that this technology will provide better outcomes to the patients, such as faster recovery, less pain after surgery and better long-term performance of the implant.
Dr. Mann further explained that robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery combines the surgeon's experience with the precision of cutting-edge technology.
He said, "This technology enables the surgeon to plan the surgery according to the anatomy of each patient, making the surgery more precise, effective and safe. This benefits patients with less pain, faster recovery and better long-term outcomes."
Dr. Bhardwaj explained that the AI-enabled robotic platform offers several important benefits, including highly precise surgical planning, bone and ligament protection, minimally invasive technique, less bleeding, less pain after the operation, faster rehabilitation and early return to daily activities. He said that under the rehabilitation protocol followed under the supervision of experts, most patients can start walking within a few hours of surgery.
The hospital's Facility Director Dr. Rajiv Kundra said that this launch is a significant milestone for the hospital as the institution is celebrating 11 years of clinical excellence and impacting the lives of over 6.5 lakh people.
