JAMMU, Apr 9: Fortis Escorts Hospital, Amritsar, has marked a significant milestone by completing 50 successful robotic knee replacement surgeries within just one month of launching its advanced robotic-assisted knee replacement program. This achievement positions the hospital among the few elite medical institutions in the region offering cutting-edge joint replacement solutions.
The Hospital introduced its robotic knee replacement surgery last month, combining precision technology with affordability. The procedure is designed to enhance outcomes by ensuring functional alignment tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy, resulting in a more natural-feeling knee and improved mobility. The robotic system aids in eliminating human error, minimizing complications, and accelerating recovery times.
Dr Mohit Arora, Director of Joint Replacement at Fortis Escorts Amritsar, emphasized that while Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) remains a highly effective treatment for knee arthritis, patient dissatisfaction due to alignment issues persists. “Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) brings unmatched precision, ensuring flawless alignment and greater patient satisfaction,” he said. “Patients report less pain, earlier mobility, and quicker return to normal activities-often walking and resuming work within 20 days.”
Key benefits of the robotic-assisted technique include smaller incisions, minimal tissue damage, no need for bone drilling, no blood transfusions, and reduced risk of fat embolism. The Hospital also uses premium joint implants with an expected lifespan of over 35 years, ensuring long-term durability and a lower revision rate.
Dr Arora, a seasoned orthopedic surgeon with over 13 years of experience, is renowned for his expertise in hip and knee joint replacement, shoulder arthroplasty, and minimally invasive trauma surgery. His team’s rapid success with robotic surgeries reflects a significant leap forward in patient care and surgical excellence in the region.
The Hospital continues to promote robotic-assisted knee surgery as a future-forward solution for those suffering from knee arthritis, combining technological innovation with compassionate care.
