Prashanth Hospitals revolutionizes Joint Replacement marking a ‘Century of Success’ using the 4th Generation Robot

Dr. Prashanth Krishna, the Managing Director of Prashanth Hospitals, reflected on the significance of this milestone, affirming, “This accomplishment marks a pivotal moment for our group, emphasizing our steadfast commitment to advancing medical technology. It serves as a monumental achievement to commence 2024 on a high note for the entire staff. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Arumugam and his proficient team of doctors who have demonstrated outstanding results in reshaping the orthopaedic landscape as he has effectively led our Centre of Excellence in Orthopaedic care, harnessing cutting-edge robotic technology to transform the lives of patients grappling with knee-related issues.”

The hospital’s observations regarding an alarming number of lifestyle related complications with increase in age, weight, higher BMI, sedentary lifestyle, muscle weakness, arthritis complications, accidents, genetic factors, and other knee-joint conditions leads to the need for such surgical interventions. Since the time of the launch, the hospital has gained insights that females undergoing robotic knee surgeries are significantly higher, and individuals undergoing both knee replacements on the same day outnumber those opting for single knee procedures.

An elderly patient expressed her heartfelt gratitude stating “I am immensely grateful to the dedicated team for this life-changing experience I had with the robotic knee replacement surgery. From the first consultation to the postoperative care, every step was marked by professionalism and most importantly genuine compassion as I was initially sceptical to undergo this operation performed by a robot. The precision of the surgery exceeded my expectations, resulting in minimal discomfort and a remarkably swift recovery. Thanks to Prashanth Hospitals, I now embrace life with renewed vigor, free from the limitations that once hindered my mobility. This experience has not just given me a new knee; it has given me a new lease on life. Heartfelt thanks to the exceptional team for their commitment to excellence!”

The Vely’s 4th generation robot integrates 3D visualization and intuitive control systems, offering precise data for joint reconstruction surgeries. This tailored approach enables surgeons to make immediate decisions, increasing efficiency and accuracy, resulting in less pain, reduced blood loss, and quicker patient recovery—a milestone showcasing the success of the total robotic knee replacements at Prashanth Hospitals.
