Due to today’s lifestyle, elderly people as well as people crossing the age of 40 start having knee pain problems. Dr. Sujoy Bhattacharjee, Director of the Joint Replacement Department at Sarvodaya Hospital, shares his experience in robotic joint replacement, a modern medical advancement that ensures better results for patients suffering from knee pain. With over 24000 joint replacements under his belt, Bhattacharjee’s expertise in this technology is invaluable.
The robot’s joint replacement method offers the highest accuracy in terms of results, Along with this; there are other advantages of joint replacement by robot such as:
1) Faster recovery by saving ligament or muscle: Sarvodaya’s Robotic Joint Replacement Department offers faster recovery by saving ligament or muscle. This minimal incision procedure only changes the necessary part of the knee, saving the ligament. This results in quick recovery without the patient feeling like they have undergone knee replacement surgery.
2) Longer life of the implant with accurate placement: Joint replacement requires accurate placement of implants in a straight frame to prevent rapid wear. Robotic bone cutting allows for precise bone cutting, providing a pain-free knee replacement for a long time. This precision is unparalleled by any other technique, ensuring a longer life for the implant.
3) Possible to walk 2 hours after joint replacement surgery: After joint replacement surgery, patients can walk for up to two hours with minimal incisions, less bleeding, and accurate implants. This reduces pain, shortens hospital stay, and eliminates the need for physiotherapy, allowing patients to return home after surgery.
4) More secure technology: Robotic surgery is a safer technique than other methods due to its complete control by the surgeon, as it is fully automated before and during the procedure. The robot’s functioning is determined before surgery, and guidelines are included, ensuring safety even during the procedure.
