Tamil Nadu: Apollo Hospital completes 370 robotic knee replacements in 10 months

Robotic surgery has been shown to deliver better results vs. traditional knee replacement. Studies have shown surgeries performed with robotics offer more accurate results. The less trauma on the bone and tissue, the better the results, and robotic assistance allows for precision that reduces traumatic areas.

Speaking with TNIE, Dr Madan Mohan Reddy, Joint Replacement Surgeon, Apollo Hospitals said, "With the robotic arm, reproduction of precise bone cuts can be done, every single time, first on a virtual 3D model and then in the operation theatre. Several studies prove that patients who underwent robotic arm-assisted surgery experienced improved early function, lower post-op pain, less need for analgesics, faster recovery, and higher patient satisfaction compared to manual surgery. The success rate in conventional knee replacement surgery is about 90% to 95% but with robotic-assisted surgeries, the accuracy is cent percent. Patients recover faster and relief is long-lasting."

Preetha Reddy, the executive vice-chairperson of Apollo Hospitals Group, said, "At Apollo, we are bringing in cutting-edge medical technology, representing the next era of healthcare innovation to treat patients."
