Indraprastha Apollo Hospital has reached a significant milestone in orthopaedic care with the successful completion of robotic-assisted joint replacement surgeries on both knees and the right hip of a 54-year-old housewife from Noida. The patient, who had suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for over 20 years, underwent a series of complex procedures despite multiple health challenges, marking a major success for the hospital’s orthopaedic team.
Renowned orthopaedic surgeon Dr. (Prof.) Raju Vaishya, along with his expert team, performed the surgeries using advanced robotic technology. The patient had experienced worsening symptoms in the past two years, leading to severe pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. Compounding her condition were other health issues, including hypertension, hypothyroidism, sleep apnea, and obesity, which made her case particularly challenging.
The surgical team tackled the case step-by-step, with the first surgery—right hip replacement—taking place in July 2023, followed by left knee replacement in October 2023, and concluding with the right knee replacement in October 2024. Each procedure was a success, and the patient is now on the path to a full recovery.
Dr. Raju Vaishya highlighted the benefits of robotic joint replacement surgery, stating, “This technology offers significant advantages, including greater precision, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery times compared to traditional methods. This case demonstrates the efficacy of robotic surgery in treating even the most complex patients with multiple comorbidities.”
The patient is recovering well and is expected to resume normal activities soon, underscoring Indraprastha Apollo Hospital’s dedication to providing world-class orthopaedic care through cutting-edge technology and expertise.
