*Udaipur, Paras Health Udaipur has marked a significant achievement in the field of advanced orthopedic treatment. Under the expert guidance of senior orthopedic consultant Dr. Ashish Singhal, the hospital has successfully performed 50 robot-assisted knee replacement surgeries in a remarkable span of just three months. By adopting cutting-edge techniques for knee replacements, Paras Health Udaipur is making treatment faster and more effective for patients.
Osteoarthritis (OA), a leading cause of knee pain in India, has been rapidly increasing. A study indicates that while 23.46 million people were affected by OA in 1990, this number surged to approximately 62.35 million in 2019. This has led to a significant rise in the number of individuals requiring knee replacement surgery to regain mobility and improve their quality of life. The new robotic technology is expected to provide much-needed relief to those struggling with this condition.
Dr. Ashish Singhal, Senior Consultant at the Orthopedic Department of Paras Health Udaipur, expressed pride in helping people from Udaipur and surrounding areas who suffer from severe knee pain and achieving this milestone in such a short period. The Cuvis Robot, introduced in February 2024, played a crucial role in enabling these successful surgeries. This robotic technology offers numerous benefits to patients.
With the new technology, knee surgeries are performed with smaller incisions, resulting in less muscle damage and quicker recovery, allowing patients to return home sooner and resume their daily activities faster than before. Smaller incisions also mean fewer scars, leading to better cosmetic outcomes and increased confidence in their physical appearance.
Furthermore, the robot-assisted technology helps in placing the artificial knee with high precision, reducing stress and wear on the knee joint, making it last longer and decreasing the need for future surgeries. The robot-assisted knee replacement surgery also aids doctors in preserving more of the natural bone, causing less damage to surrounding healthy tissues and enabling quicker recovery. Precisely placed artificial joints result in more natural knee movement and better functionality, allowing patients to enjoy their preferred activities again.
Dr. Ashish Singhal believes that robot-assisted surgeries will continue to play a crucial role in improving patients' lives. This achievement underscores Paras Health Udaipur's unwavering commitment to staying at the forefront of orthopedic treatment and providing patients with the best possible care through the latest technology. By adopting state-of-the-art technologies like the Cuvis Robot, the hospital supports its skilled surgical team in delivering exceptional patient experiences and superior surgical outcomes.
