Maringo Asia Hospitals Gurugram is the first and only hospital in the city to provide advanced robot-assisted treatment for hip replacement. In the case of orthopedics, robot-assisted hip replacement surgery has changed everything for patients. Due to its accuracy and better results, robotic surgery is proving to be a game changer in hip replacement. Dr. Hemant Sharma, HOD and Director, Department of Orthopedics, Maringo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram, dispelled some false claims and fears of people related to advanced technology and gave information about the benefits of robotic surgery in hip replacement.

State-of-the-art technology is used in robotic-assisted hip replacement surgery. It features advanced imaging and 3D modeling to create personalized surgical plans for every patient. This surgery is so safe that there is no risk of any kind after hip implant and the replacement lasts for a long time.

Dr. Hemant Sharma said, “An important advantage of robot-assisted hip transplantation surgery is that its process is minimally invasive. Smaller incisions are made, there is less pain and the recovery of the patient is also faster due to which the patients have less problems. This not only provides relief to the patient but his life also moves towards normal. The robotic system is capable of making real-time adjustments during surgery in any condition. Because the body structure of every patient is different and the robot works accordingly. This helps doctors to get good results. Patients who undergo robotic hip replacement surgery experience significant improvements in their hip joints, less pain, and a faster return to a normal active lifestyle.

Another very important advantage of robotic surgery is that there is very little need for any kind of revision surgery in future. This means that the patient can live with his or her new hip joint for a longer period of time with minimal discomfort and inconvenience from additional surgery.

Robotic-assisted hip replacement surgery is also changing the way orthopedic surgeons work. Maringo Asia Hospitals Gurugram is the first and only hospital in the entire Delhi NCR region to provide robot-assisted total hip replacement surgery to its patients. In robotic surgery the help of robot arm is taken. Robotic arm-assisted total hip replacement surgery is especially recommended for patients who suffer from inflammatory or non-inflammatory degenerative diseases. It is used in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, post-traumatic arthritis and hip dysplasia.

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of people undergoing joint replacement surgery. The reason for this is that people have started facing a lot of problems due to back pain, joint pain or hip pain. Due to back pain, one is unable to sleep properly, faces difficulty in daily activities, feels pain in the body, faces difficulty in climbing stairs, bending or any such position.

Neeta Rajwar, Facility Director, Maringo Asia Hospitals Gurugram, said, “Hip replacement is a very specialized procedure for which patients from all over the world come to India. Thousands of patients come for surgery in India so that they can get treatment at a reasonable cost and do not have to stand in queues. Patients get extraordinary results in the medical field in India and since surgery is expensive in western countries, more and more patients turn to India. Another important thing is that hip replacement is a complex surgery and it can be performed only by highly experienced and trained orthopedic surgeons. Maringo Asia Hospital has world class facilities. Robotic arm-assisted surgery is also done here. We believe in the principle of ‘Patient First’ and are engaged in providing advanced treatment to our patients through the latest technologies.

A record number of hip replacement surgeries are performed every year in India. Total hip replacement surgery is being done for people of all ages. The success rate of this surgery is 90 – 95 percent. Only one thing causes problems after surgery and that is obesity. If obesity is not controlled, there is a risk of living beyond the replacement period.
