A Life-Changing Decision: Robotic Total Knee Replacement with Dr. Soumya Chakraborty
For patients who have already undergone conventional knee replacement, the thought of another surgery can bring hesitation and concern. This patient story from Ananya Raha, Kolkata, highlights how choosing robotic total knee replacement (TKR) under the expert care of Dr. Soumya Chakraborty turned out to be one of the best medical decisions of her life.
Choosing Robotic Knee Replacement for Better Outcomes
Having experienced a traditional TKR earlier, the patient realized in September 2025 that her other knee also required replacement. Determined to opt for a more advanced solution this time, she decided on robotic-assisted knee replacement, known for its precision, better alignment, and faster recovery.
In October 2025, she consulted Dr. Soumya Chakraborty at Fortis Hospital, Anandapur, Kolkata, and was immediately reassured by his confidence, calm demeanor, and compassionate approach.
Smooth Surgery and Rapid Recovery
The robotic TKR surgery was performed on 24.10.25, and the results were remarkable:
- Walking with a stick by 26th October
- Discharged on 27th October
- Significantly less physical discomfort compared to the previous conventional surgery
- Noticeably faster recovery and mobility
Such outcomes clearly demonstrate the benefits of robotic technology combined with an experienced surgeon’s expertise.
Exceptional Care Beyond Surgery

Trust Built on Results and Compassion
The patient describes Dr. Chakraborty as confident, composed, and exceptionally skilled—qualities that made the entire experience stress-free and rewarding. The success of this robotic knee replacement has left such a strong impression that she would not hesitate to recommend him to family or friends in the future.
