Mumbai: On the occasion of World Arthritis Day, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai Central is proud to announce the clinical launch of a state-of-the-art robotic arm-assisted system. This technology will be used to perform knee and hip replacement surgeries in a highly efficient manner and will enable the hospital to take patient care to a different level.
Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai Central has adopted the state-of-the-art technology Stryker Mako Robot for knee and hip replacement surgeries. Wockhardt Hospitals is the only hospital in the region to have this technology available. This technology provides CT images for knee and hip replacement surgeries, providing the required accuracy during surgery. This technology gives surgeons better control along with accuracy. Due to accuracy and better control, there is not much damage to the muscles and tissues, making this surgery safe. The special thing is that with the use of this technique the patient’s condition improves rapidly. Wockhardt Hospital’s constant endeavor is to make the patients feel better as soon as possible and for this, efforts are being made to adopt new technologies.
Dr. Dermont Collopy is a consultant physician at St. John of God Private Hospital in Perth, Australia, and under his supervision the first surgeries using this technique were performed. Joint replacement surgery was performed with the help of Mako robotic arm under the supervision of Dr. Dermont Collopy to familiarize the doctors at Wockhardt Hospitals with this technology and enable them to perform surgeries with the help of this technology. This is the first joint replacement surgery performed using this technique at Wockhardt Hospitals.
Mako Smart Robotics’ is considered to be a safe and accurate method for knee and hip replacement surgeries. This technique makes it possible to perform surgery by removing the damaged portion of the bone without damaging the remaining bone and tissues. Studies conducted for this technique have shown that patients experience less pain after surgery, their condition improves faster, they have shorter hospital stays, there is less blood loss, and The surgical incision is small. Due to this, doctors all over the world are advising to perform surgery using this technique. The most impressive thing about this technology is the system called ‘Accustop’. This helps surgeons cut the bone with great precision, place the artificial joint precisely and minimize tissue damage during surgery.
This technology equipment has been implemented in more than 1500 locations across the world. More than 1 million surgeries have been performed worldwide with these devices. Over 350 review articles have been published on this device. Mako Robotics arm technology is at the forefront of bone healing technology. Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai Central is pleased to introduce this technology in patient care. Providing high quality patient care through the use of state-of-the-art technology has always been the aim of Wockhardt Hospitals and the adoption of this technology is another step in the same direction.
