Bhubaneswar: In a ground-breaking medical achievement, Manipal Hospital in Bhubaneswar has successfully performed the first robotic-assisted bilateral Uni-condylar Knee Replacement (UKR) surgery in Eastern India. The surgery was conducted using the state-of-the-art Velys-3 Robotics system on a patient suffering from bilateral knee medial tibio-femoral compartment arthritis.
This advanced robotic platform utilises artificial intelligence to enhance surgical precision, ensuring safer and more effective procedures. The robotic system provides real-time feedback and guidance, allowing surgeons to achieve optimal alignment and balance of soft tissues around the knee.
Benefits of Robotic-Assisted UKR
The robotic-assisted UKR surgery offers several benefits, including:
Precision in component positioning, leading to improved surgical outcomes
Enhanced accuracy in alignment and positioning, potentially prolonging implant durability
Minimally invasive procedure, preserving surrounding healthy tissues
A Milestone in Odisha’s Medical History
The hospital authorities expressed hope that this advanced technology will bring more patient satisfaction and improved outcomes. This pioneering surgery marks a significant milestone in Odisha’s medical history, solidifying Manipal Hospital’s commitment to providing cutting-edge healthcare services.
By leveraging the latest robotic technology, the surgical team at Manipal Hospital has set a new standard for knee replacement surgeries in the region, offering patients a safer and more effective treatment option.
