Kolkata: Manipal Hospitals, one of the top healthcare providers in India, has introduced the ROSA® Knee System at its Kolkata facility. Developed by Zimmer Biomet, this cutting-edge robotic surgical assistant is bound to make a remarkable advancement in total knee replacement procedures.
Combining advanced robotics and new-gen software components, this state-of-the-art technology promises to deliver better accuracy in procedure outcomes and quicker recovery for patients. Numerous patients from Barasat-North 24 Parganas, Howrah as well as other neighboring districts, are now traveling to Kolkata to access the less invasive knee replacement surgery.
Manipal Hospitals has expert orthopedic surgeons specially trained on the ROSA® Knee System to provide world-class treatment. The hospital allows comprehensive treatment, guiding the patients from consultation to post-operative rehabilitation. Since June 2024, Manipal Hospitals has conducted 25 successful knee replacement surgeries with the ROSA Surgical Orthopedic Robot.
Dr. Ritwik Ganguly, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Dhakuria, said, “The ROSA Surgical Orthopedic Robot for knee replacement surgery has several advantages like patient-specific implantation, more precise, and the kinematics is much more improved than the normal available orthopedic surgical robots. The result after the knee replacement surgery is also much better, helping patients to return to normal life faster.”
Dr. Rajib Basu, Senior Orthopedic Surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Dhakuria, said, “ROSA is the latest generation orthopedic knee replacement surgical robot. It helps the surgeon with better precision for the implant placement, which in turn gives the patient a pain-free knee within a quicker period. This robot will help us provide more benefits to patients suffering from knee pain and requiring replacement surgery.”
Dr. Kanchan Bhattacharya, Senior Orthopedic Surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Dhakuria, said, “The robot’s state-of-the-art instrumentation helps us to become more precise and more reproducible, making it the way to go forward for all those people who are suffering from a lot of pain and are unable to have proper movements. With the ROSA robot, those in need of knee replacement surgery will have a faster post-operative recovery period and can transition to a better quality of life sooner.”
Patients can expect a swift recovery, with many able to start driving within two weeks, engage in light activities by 3-4 weeks, and return to recreational activities like golf within 6-8 weeks post-surgery.
With a huge surge in patients looking for pain-alleviating treatments, Manipal Hospitals offers the best clinicians and surgeons, followed by post-operative care for patients from Howrah and Barasat, North 24 Parganas. With fewer hospital stays, painless procedures, and faster recovery, the team of Orthopedic Surgeons at the Manipal hospitals is now equipped with the best-in-class robot for surgery.
