A "Triple Century" of Mobility: Pvt Hospital performs fastest 300 Robotic Knee Surgeries first time in the region
Apollo Hospitals, a leading healthcare provider in the region, today proudly announced a monumental milestone: the successful completion of 300 Robotic Knee Replacement Surgeries. This remarkable achievement not only solidifies Apollo Hospitals Lucknow's position at the forefront of orthopedic innovation but also highlights a significant shift in healthcare preferences, particularly within rural communities.
This "triple century" comes on the heels of the hospital's previous milestone of 100 fastest robotic knee replacements, further underscoring the rapid adoption and positive outcomes associated with this advanced surgical modality.
Addressing the media, Dr. Sanjai Srivastava, Chairman Orthopedics & Joint Replacement, Apollo Hospitals Lucknow, stated, "Reaching this incredible milestone of 300 successful robotic knee replacement surgeries is a testament to the unparalleled expertise of our team and our unwavering dedication to offering cutting-edge treatments. Robotic knee replacement surgery, utilizing an AI-based robotic arm, provides exceptional precision and accuracy, allowing for a truly personalized approach. This technology consistently delivers faster recovery, reduced pain and blood loss, improved implant alignment and longevity, and significantly enhanced patient outcomes. It also empowers greater patient participation in the entire process. We've observed a significant paradigm shift in people’s preference in choosing this kind of advanced surgeries. Previously, when offered robotic knee surgery, approximately 1 out of 5 patients would opt for it. Today, that number has surged to 3 out of 5 patients who are ready to embrace this advanced modality and even pay a premium for the superior quality of life it offers. It’s particularly heartening to see this increased demand from rural areas. While roughly 50% of our robotic knee replacement patients come from Lucknow city, the other 50% are from peripheral areas like Barabanki, Hardoi, Raebareli, Sultanpur, Faizabad etc. This trend underscores a crucial change in mindset: people from rural areas are increasingly prioritizing the quality of life post-surgery, demonstrating a readiness to invest out-of-pocket for these advanced healthcare solutions."
Dr. Mayank Somani, MD & CEO, Apollo Hospitals Lucknow, added, "We are immensely proud to be revolutionizing patient care in the region through robotic surgery. The growing acceptance and demand for this advanced technique are truly remarkable. Apollo Hospitals Lucknow's commitment to technological advancement extends beyond orthopedics. The hospital is offering robotic surgery with most advanced Da Vinci XI surgical robotic system in all super-specialties, including Uro-surgery, General Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Cardiac Surgery, and Cancer Surgery, with more than 100 successful surgeries already performed. With two robotic surgical systems, Apollo Hospitals Lucknow is equipped with comprehensive robotic capabilities, reaffirming its dedication to providing patients with access to the latest advancements in medical technology across a wider range of disciplines and delivering even better patient care.
