AJ Hospital and Research Center Launches Smith+Nephew Robotic Joint Replacement Technology
Mangalore: AJ Hospital and Research Centre, since its inception in 2001, has introduced the most advanced facilities and equipment on par with the Western world. Our chairman, Dr. A.J. Shetty’s motto is to bring these state-of-the-art facilities to this region to serve the people and provide them at affordable rates.
Today, we are launching yet another milestone: the “Robot for Joint Replacement” by Smith+Nephew USA, inaugurated by our chairman, Dr. A.J. Shetty.
This revolutionary robotic technology by Smith+Nephew ensures enhanced precision in joint replacement procedures, leading to improved surgical outcomes and faster recovery for patients. The system uses advanced 3D imaging and real-time navigation, allowing surgeons to create personalized surgical plans and achieve optimal implant placement with unmatched accuracy. This is the only robot capable of performing knee, partial knee, and hip replacement surgeries.
“This robotic system represents the future of orthopedic care, offering unparalleled precision and patient-centered outcomes. At A.J. Hospital, we are committed to staying at the forefront of medical advancements, and this launch is a testament to our dedication to excellence in healthcare.”
Key Highlights of the Robotic Joint Replacement Technology:
Personalized Surgery: Tailored procedures based on 3D models of the patient’s anatomy.
Enhanced Accuracy: Optimal implant positioning for improved joint function and longevity.
Bone Preservation: Resurfaces the joint instead of replacing it, preserving more natural bones and ligaments.
Minimal Tissue Damage: Ensures reduced postoperative complications and faster recovery.
Minimal Blood Loss: Reduces intraoperative blood loss significantly.
Radiation-Free Imaging: No exposure to CT or MRI, utilizing image-agnostic smart mapping.
Real-Time Planning: Offers intraoperative gap balancing for better surgical precision.
Surgeon-Driven Robotics: Technology controlled entirely by the surgeon for superior outcomes.
Versatility in Procedures: One system supports total hip, total knee, and partial knee surgeries.
Improved Patient Experience: Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to daily activities.
First of Its Kind: The hospital is the first to offer comprehensive robotic surgery capabilities.
A.J. Hospital and Research Centre continues to set new benchmarks in healthcare delivery, reaffirming its commitment to providing world-class treatment to the people of Mangalore and beyond.
