Dr. Kaushik Patel took the initiative to bring Robotic Knee Replacement Technology to Surat in order to improve surgical techniques and make patients’ lives easier. Surat, Gujarat, witnessed the first-ever Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery using the Hand Held Surgical System.
The Robot used by Dr. Kaushik Patel for surgery is the Navio Surgical System. It is one of the best systems for Robotic Knee Replacement Technology. The Navio system gathers measurements of the knee with real-time technology (no C.T scan required) during robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery. The system then collects the deformity of the joint. These measures combine to create a 3-D representation that is unique to the patient’s knee. Surgeons can then use this image to construct a thorough surgical plan and choose the best implant type and size.
The surgery was performed successfully by Dr. Kaushik Patel and the results of the surgery were more accurate and precise in comparison to the conventional surgical method. He is an Orthopaedic and Robotic Joint Replacement surgeon based in Surat and believes that “Robotic Knee Replacement has more benefits and is a more reliable surgery technique than conventional surgical methods.”
Robotic Knee Replacement surgery gives a new life to people with knee problems. Just like in conventional knee replacement it replaces the knee joint. The damaged bone in the knee is removed and replaced with an artificial joint by the surgeon. The only difference is that it is performed with a robotic arm or a handheld robotic device.
Knee replacement surgery has become increasingly popular not just in Surat but across India in elderly arthritic knee patients. However, it has been noted that even with the best orthopaedics, 25% of patients who have had knee replacement surgery do not experience the expected relief after surgery.
Better alignment and balancing result in less wear of the implant while increasing the implant life. Recent research has demonstrated that using Robotic Knee Replacement surgery eliminates these errors in judgement and leads to great outcomes.
Knee replacement surgery with robotics sounded like a distant dream some years back but is now a reality. Physicians have begun to use robotics during surgery, relying on the precise motions of a machine to assist them with surgery that requires extreme precision, such as knee replacement.
Patients are not aware of the new robotic knee replacement surgery alternatives, and therefore are cautious and concerned about their safety and the risks associated with this procedure. The truth is that patients who choose robotic surgery reap a slew of advantages.
Why choose Robotic Knee Replacement?
When compared to traditional knee replacement, robotic surgery produces better results. According to studies, robotic procedures produce more accurate results. The better the results, the less trauma on the bone and tissue, and robotic assistance allows for precision, reducing traumatic areas.
Advantages of Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery
– Long-term stability
– Better Patient Satisfaction
– Less Pain
