JAMMU, Feb 21: Fortis Escorts Hospital Amritsar has taken a significant leap in the field of joint replacement surgery by launching the latest and most advanced Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery at an affordable price.
Speaking at the launch, Dr Mohit Arora, Director of Joint Replacement at Fortis Escorts Hospital Amritsar, emphasized that Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) remains a highly effective procedure for most patients suffering from knee arthritis. However, despite advancements in surgical techniques and technology, patient dissatisfaction post-TKA continues to be a concern.
Dr Arora highlighted that Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) is emerging as a future-oriented solution to improve surgical outcomes due to its unparalleled accuracy, precision, and reliability. He explained that robotic surgery ensures flawless alignment, reducing the chances of mal-alignment caused by human error. With the introduction of robotic-assisted knee replacement at Fortis Escorts Amritsar, the Hospital joins the ranks of a select few medical institutions in the city offering this cutting-edge procedure.
Dr Arora further stated that the Hospital now utilizes the latest and premium joint implants, boasting a lifespan of over 35 years. The benefits of robotic-assisted surgery over conventional knee replacement include perfect knee joint alignment and balance, no bone drilling (which minimizes the risk of fat embolism), a lower revision rate, reduced pain, smaller incisions, no need for blood transfusions, minimal complications, early mobilization, faster recovery, and longer implant durability.
Notably, Dr Mohit Arora is a highly qualified and experienced orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee joint replacement surgery, shoulder arthroplasty, and minimally invasive (buttonhole) trauma (fracture) surgery. With nearly 13 years of experience, he is an expert in high-flexion knee replacement surgery. Under his leadership, Fortis Escorts Hospital Amritsar has developed a nationally recognized orthopedic department, supported by a dedicated team of clinicians and technicians.
The introduction of robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery at Fortis Escorts Hospital Amritsar marks a transformative step in orthopedic care, promising greater precision, reduced post-operative discomfort, and improved long-term outcomes for patients seeking knee replacement procedures.
