Mumbai’s CritiCare Asia Hospital achieves milestone in orthopaedic care with robotic gold partial knee replacement surgery

Dr Santosh Shetty and Team Robodocs at CritiCare Asia Hospital in Mumbai have recently scored an applauding milestone in the field of orthopaedic surgery by successfully performing the city's first-ever robotic-assisted partial knee replacement surgery. The groundbreaking surgery was carried out using a specially coated gold partial knee implant and advanced third-generation fully automatic robotic arm technology.

Robotic-assisted technology has revolutionised the field of orthopaedic surgery by enabling surgeons to provide a more precise, personalised solution for patients suffering from knee arthritis. During the surgery, Dr Santosh Shetty used a computerised system in order to create a 3D image of the patient's knee, which helped enable the placement of the implant with a high degree of accuracy. The technology also provided real-time feedback, ensuring each implant was perfectly placed and aligned to optimise effortless joint function.

Studies have revealed that patients who have undergone replacement surgery with robotic-assisted technology experience less pain, have faster recovery times, and improved joint function as compared to those who undergo traditional knee replacement surgery. Additionally, the use of this technology has been shown to result in fewer complications, and reduced hospital stays.

Dr Deepak Namjoshi, Chairman and Founder of CritiCare Asia Group of Hospitals, expressed his pride in the hospital's achievement and its diligent commitment to providing personalised, efficient and effective care to its patients. CritiCare Asia Hospital is poised to continue leading the field of robotic joint replacement with the success of this surgery and the two advanced robotic systems at their disposal that sets new standards of excellence and innovation for years to come.

The successful completion of Mumbai's first-ever robotic-assisted partial knee replacement surgery marks an important milestone in the field of robotic joint replacement. Thanks to Dr Santosh Shetty and Team Robodocs' expertise and the use of their advanced technology, patients suffering from knee arthritis can now benefit from personalised, effective, and efficient orthopaedic care. The commitment of CritiCare Asia Hospital is to innovate and excel in the industry while providing hope for patients in need.
