Dr. S S Khatri, Founder & Director of ‘Robotics by Dr. Khatri’, is a renowned orthopedic surgeon and expert in robotic knee replacement, transforming lives with cutting-edge treatments designed to alleviate knee pain. As one of Rajasthan’s fastest-growing cities with a rising elderly population and increasing lifestyle-related joint issues, Jaipur urgently needs advanced solutions like robotic knee replacement to meet evolving healthcare demands. Under his leadership, Robotics by Dr. Khatri has expanded across Rajasthan, Gujarat, West Bengal, Assam, and Madhya Pradesh, bringing this advanced medical technology to people across the country.
What is the need for knee replacement surgery?
Knee replacement surgery is considered when all conservative measures fail to provide relief from knee pain. Surgery may be performed to:
- Relieve pain
- Improve joint stability
- Improve alignment and correct bone deformity
- Improve quality of life
- Optimise activities of daily living
Why robotics knee replacement?
Robotic knee replacement surgery is a procedure where the damaged cartilage of the knee joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint with robotic assistance. Robotic-assisted surgery offers better planning prior to surgery and greater precision with better alignment and joint balancing during the surgery. These lead to shorter recovery times and better patient outcomes.
This innovative procedure is revolutionising the way knee replacement surgeries are performed.
Compared to traditional surgeries, robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery offers several significant advantages:
Reduced blood loss: Robotic technology ensures more precision during surgery, minimising blood loss and trauma.
Less pain & faster recovery: Patients experience less pain post-surgery and enjoy a quicker recovery, leading to a better quality of life.
Quick discharge: Most patients can leave the hospital within one day, thanks to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure.
Who are eligible for a knee replacement surgery?
Any patient who’s fit for traditional surgery is also a good candidate for a robot-assisted knee replacement procedure. Since robot-assisted surgeries involve fewer complications and faster recovery, these are ideal treatment options for elderly patients who need a total knee replacement. The surgery offers a greater level of precision and reduced risk of problems, making it a highly effective choice for all patients.
Myth – Robotic joint replacement is only for the wealthy
There is a misconception that robotic joint replacement is prohibitively expensive, making it accessible only to the elite. While it is true that robotic technology initially came with a higher price tag, its increasing popularity, advancements, and results in the field have made it more accessible to a broader range of patients. As technology improves, costs tend to decrease over time, allowing more individuals to benefit from this revolutionary procedure. Even many Insurance companies are now considering Robotic Surgeries in their cashless packages.
Diabetes and high blood pressure, or any chronic disease may prohibit one from undergoing robotic knee replacement surgery?
Diabetes and blood pressure are no longer a concern when considering knee replacement surgery. The only thing required is blood sugar and BP under control; modern-day medicines are capable of doing this.
The advantages of robotic knee replacement surgery are significant:
Reduced post-surgery pain
The precise nature of robotic surgery minimises damage to tissues around the knee, resulting in less post-operative pain.
Increased accuracy
Robotic assistance ensures a higher level of accuracy, allowing patients to regain mobility more quickly. This, in turn, reduces the time spent in the hospital after surgery.
Reduced complications
With the aid of robotic technology, the risk of complications during and after surgery can be minimised, such as less blood loss, fewer chances of embolism, less pain, and early recovery.
Improved long-term functionality
By achieving optimal implant alignment and stability, robotic knee replacement can enhance the long-term functionality of the knee joint.
Enhanced patient satisfaction
The benefits of robotic knee replacement, such as improved accuracy, faster recovery, and reduced complications, can contribute to higher patient satisfaction.
