Robotic Knee Replacement with MISSO: How Dr. Akhil Arora is Transforming Orthopaedic Care at MediSquare Hospital
Knee pain, stiffness, and limited mobility are increasingly common among individuals due to age, lifestyle, or underlying joint conditions. While traditional knee replacement has served as a successful treatment option for years, the integration of robotic-assisted technology is now revolutionizing the field.
MediSquare Hospital, a pioneer in Central India’s healthcare innovation, is proud to lead this transformation under the expert hands of Dr. Akhil Arora, who recently performed a live robotic knee replacement using the MISSO Robot.
In this blog, we’ll explore the intricacies of robotic knee replacement, the advantages of the MISSO system, and how patients benefit from this cutting-edge technique.
What Is Robotic Knee Replacement?
Robotic knee replacement is a surgical technique that combines the precision of robotic technology with the expertise of an orthopedic surgeon. Unlike traditional surgery, which relies solely on the surgeon’s skill and visual judgment, robotic assistance enables millimeter-level accuracy in bone cutting and implant placement.
The Role of the MISSO Robot
The MISSO Robot is an advanced surgical assistant specifically designed for orthopaedic procedures. It provides a 3D view of the patient’s anatomy, allowing surgeons to plan and execute the procedure with unparalleled precision.
Key features of MISSO include:
- Real-time intraoperative guidance
- Enhanced range of motion post-surgery
- Minimally invasive surgical access
- Reduced blood loss and faster healing
Dr. Akhil Arora: A Leader in Robotic Surgery
Dr. Akhil Arora is a distinguished orthopedic and joint replacement surgeon who has consistently stayed at the forefront of technology in orthopaedic care. With numerous successful robotic surgeries under his belt, his recent live robotic knee replacement procedure demonstrated his commitment to innovation and patient care.
Advantages of Robotic Knee Replacement
- Greater Precision — Robots enhance the surgeon’s capabilities and reduce human error.
- Minimal Trauma — Smaller incisions lead to less tissue damage.
- Reduced Blood Loss — Advanced planning and minimally invasive techniques reduce intraoperative bleeding.
- Faster Recovery — Patients often experience quicker mobilization and discharge.
- Improved Implant Longevity — Accurate placement can result in implants lasting longer.
Patient Outcomes at MediSquare Hospital
Patients undergoing robotic knee replacement at MediSquare have reported:
- Significantly less post-operative pain
- Early resumption of daily activities
- Higher satisfaction rates
