Prashanth hospitals celebrates 200 successful robotic knee replacement surgeries

Chennai, May 27, 2024: Prashanth Hospitals, Chennai’s leading super- speciality hospital, today announced the successful completion of 200 robot-assisted knee replacement surgeries using the state-of-the-art 4th Generation Velys Robot, setting a new benchmark in advanced orthopedic care. This milestone underscores Prashanth Hospitals' commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance patient outcomes and provide world-class medical services.

Lifestyle-related factors such as increased age, weight, higher BMI, sedentary lifestyles, muscle weakness, arthritis complications, genetic factors, and other knee-joint conditions contribute to the need for surgical interventions. Robot-assisted total knee replacement (TKR) surgery using the latest technology has transformed many patients' lives as the robot significantly enhances surgical precision, achieving sub-millimeter accuracy.  Over the recent years, patients are opting for robotic surgeries due to minimal postoperative pain apart from other benefits including reduced blood loss during surgery and faster recovery.
 
Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery represents a significant advancement in orthopedic surgery, offering greater precision, reduced recovery times, and improved patient outcomes. Vely’s 4th generation robot with its 3D visualization and intuitive control systems provides precise data for joint reconstruction surgeries which in turn provides a tailored approach and allows Doctors to make immediate decisions, increasing efficiency and accuracy, and resulting in less pain, reduced blood loss, and quicker recovery.
 
Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Arumugam S, Senior Orthopaedic Surgeon, and Knee Replacement Expert, Prashanth Hospitals, said "Reaching the milestone of 200 successful robot-assisted knee replacement surgeries completed within a year is a significant achievement for our team. This technology allows for unparalleled precision, resulting in better alignment and balance, which are critical for the long-term success of knee replacements. Our patients have experienced less pain and faster recovery times, which is our ultimate goal."
 
Adding to this, Dr. Prashanth Krishna, Managing Director of Prashanth Hospitals, said "We are incredibly proud of our orthopedic team led by Dr.Arumugam.
