Apollo Spectra Hospital, Mumbai, a part of the Apollo Group of Hospitals, a network of multi-specialty hospitals, unveiled an advanced robotic knee replacement system that is designed to ensure exceptional safety and accuracy during surgery. Named Rosa Surgical Robot, the system is installed at the hospital’s Tardeo and Chembur centers in the city.
The Rosa system offers immediate guidance and feedback to make necessary adjustments as required throughout the surgical process. With its capacity to reach difficult anatomical regions, robotic technology enables better long-term results and feel more authentic.
Through sophisticated X-rays and 3D images, the robot designs a tailored surgical plan considering specific factors such as bone structure and alignment, all while minimizing the harm to surrounding healthy tissues. Patients can expect smaller scars, less blood loss, and precise replacement of damaged cartilage and bone with customized artificial joints in knee surgeries, ultimately regaining mobility without pain, according to the hospital.
The system was formally launched by Bollywood actor Arbaaz Khan, in the presence of leading doctors and top officials of the hospital.
Dr Safiuddin Nadwi, Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon at Apollo Spectra Hospital in Mumbai, said “Joint replacement surgery is widely chosen by a majority of people in India as an elective procedure. Newly launched advanced Rosa robotic technology can ensure that patients have reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times, along with a lower risk of complications. More than 90 percent of patients have successfully undergone knee replacement surgeries using robotic technology and are back on their feet.”
Dr Alok Pande, Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon at Apollo Spectra Hospital, said, “The high-end Rosa robotic technology not only reflects our commitment to innovation but also shows our dedication to providing patients with top-notch facilities and the best possible care. As a large number of people seek benefits of this latest technology in joint replacement surgeries, there is a growing interest and confidence in choosing robotic-assisted procedures in patients for fulfilling their orthopedic needs.”
Rupinder Kaur, COO of Apollo Spectra Hospitals and Head of Secondary Care Partner Network, said, “The introduction of the Rosa surgical system exemplifies our commitment towards enhancing patient care while ensuring that individuals can return home pain-free and back on their feet more quickly than ever before. With these advancements, hopes remain high that similar technologies will become standard practice throughout healthcare facilities nationwide.”
Actor Arbaaz Khan said, “Due to obesity, injuries, sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise, a large number of people across the country are experiencing knee and joint pain at a very young age. If not treated on time, the joint wears down and cause immobility demanding a surgery. However, patients undergoing knee replacement surgery will now be able to improve mobility due to the expertise of Apollo Spectra’s skilled orthopedic surgeons and latest technology that is safe, accurate and ensures faster recovery.
Sriram Iyer, CEO of Apollo Health & Lifestyle Ltd, said,” The launch of our new robotic knee replacement system at Apollo Spectra is a testament to our commitment to offering patients unparalleled precision, quicker recovery times, and the highest standards of care. This is a significant step forward in our mission to transform the surgical landscape and redefine what’s possible in clinical outcomes.”
