Fortis Hospital Pioneers Dual Approach in Knee Replacement Surgery
In a remarkable leap forward for orthopedic care, Dr. Soumya Chakraborty, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Fortis Hospital Anandapur, has successfully blended robotic-assisted and conventional knee replacement techniques—offering a truly personalized approach to joint restoration.
Tailored Surgical Approaches for Every Patient
Dr. Chakraborty’s innovative approach was recently demonstrated through two distinct cases:
- Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement:
A 65-year-old patient with complex knee anatomy underwent surgery using the VELYS Robotic System. This cutting-edge technology provided real-time precision in implant placement, minimal tissue trauma, and faster rehabilitation. - Conventional Knee Replacement:
For a 70-year-old patient with typical degenerative knee changes, Dr. Chakraborty performed a traditional knee replacement with exceptional accuracy, ensuring proper alignment and restored mobility.
Why Robotic-Assisted Surgery Stands Out
The VELYS Robotic System enhances outcomes through:
- Enhanced Precision: Real-time feedback ensures optimal implant positioning.
- Personalized Surgical Planning: Tailored to each patient’s anatomy.
- Minimally Invasive Technique: Smaller incisions, less blood loss, and quicker recovery.
- Improved Implant Longevity: Better alignment contributes to longer-lasting results.
Expert Insight
“By offering both robotic-assisted and conventional techniques, we ensure that each patient receives the most suitable and effective treatment,” shared Dr. Chakraborty. “Our focus is always on achieving superior function, comfort, and long-term success.”
