Goa, 25th February 2025 – Manipal Hospital Goa marks a successful week of advanced robotic knee replacement surgeries, revolutionizing patient care and recovery outcomes. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Rohan Dessai, Consultant Hip and Knee Replacement Surgeon at Manipal Hospital Goa, the hospital conducted six robotic-assisted total knee replacements over the past five days, benefiting patients with enhanced precision, faster recovery, and minimal post-operative discomfort.
The cutting-edge robotic system, which was stationed at the hospital’s operation theatre throughout the week, enabled Dr. Rohan Dessai to perform single and bilateral knee replacements with unparalleled accuracy. One of the key advantages of this robotic technology is its intra-operative precision, allowing up to 0.5-degree angular accuracy and 0.5mm adjustments while placing the femoral and tibial components. The technique ensures minimal soft tissue dissection, resulting in faster recovery, reduced pain, and minimal post-operative swelling.
All patients were made to walk within 3-4 hours’ post-surgery and discharged promptly. Patients undergoing single knee replacement were discharged within 24 hours, while a patient who underwent bilateral knee replacement was safely discharged within two days. Additionally, all procedures featured stitchless wound closure, promoting faster healing and zero infection rates.
Speaking about this milestone, Dr. Rohan Dessai shared, “Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery is a game changer in orthopedic care. The precision of this system, combined with minimal tissue handling, translates to quicker recovery and improved patient outcomes. We are delighted to offer this state-of-the-art technology at Manipal Hospital Goa and provide our patients with the best possible care.”
Echoing these sentiments, Mr. Surendra Prasad, Hospital Director, Manipal Hospital, Goa added, “At Manipal Hospital Goa, we continuously strive to integrate the latest advancements in medical technology to enhance patient care. The success of this week’s robotic knee replacement surgeries reflects our commitment to excellence in orthopedic surgery and patient-centered care.”
This landmark achievement underscores Manipal Hospital Goa’s dedication to pioneering medical advancements, ensuring that patients receive the highest standard of orthopedic care with cutting-edge technology and expert hands.
