Medicover Hospital in Navi Mumbai has made a groundbreaking advancement in orthopedic care with the introduction of the MISSO high-tech robotic knee and hip replacement system. This state-of-the-art technology is set to transform knee and hip replacement procedures, offering enhanced precision, minimal discomfort, and accelerated recovery times.

With knee and hip ailments on the rise across all age groups, Medicover Hospital has taken a proactive approach to improving patient care and surgical outcomes. The increasing prevalence of these conditions is no longer confined to the elderly, as lifestyle factors such as obesity, arthritis, and injuries have contributed to a surge in younger patients experiencing joint pain and mobility issues.

In a remarkable milestone, the hospital recently performed its first robotic total knee replacement surgery on a 76-year-old woman suffering from severe knee arthritis. Demonstrating the efficiency and effectiveness of the robotic system, the patient was seen walking just two hours after the surgery, underscoring the system’s capability to deliver swift recovery and improved post-operative mobility.

Dr. Deepak Gautam, Director of Orthopedic at Medicover Hospital, Navi Mumbai, highlighted the growing need for advanced surgical interventions in orthopedic care. He stated, “We are seeing a higher number of younger patients suffering from knee and hip-related issues. Traditional surgeries, though effective, take a longer time to recover. Around 70% of people from all age groups suffer from knee or hip pain at some point in time and struggle with day-to-day activities. Approximately, 10%-20% are advised knee and hip replacements to deal with the debilitating pain and 2%-3% may require knee and hip revision surgeries. Currently, the MISSO robotic system is a game changer that provides exceptional accuracy, reduces hospital stays, minimizes blood loss, lowers the risk of infections, and faster recovery.”

Echoing this sentiment, Dr. Nikhil, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Medicover Hospital, Navi Mumbai, emphasized the local impact of this technological leap. “This technology will be a boon for Navi Mumbaikars, allowing them to access world-class robotic-assisted surgery. With reduced hospital stays, patients can return to their normal routine much faster than usual, and experience less pain and greater mobility post-surgery,” he explained.

By launching this next-generation robotic system, Medicover Hospital is committed to reducing complications, accelerating healing, and ensuring patients regain mobility faster than ever before.”

Reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to innovation, Neeraj Lal, Regional Director for the Maharashtra Region at Medicover Hospitals, commented, “At Medicover, we remain at the forefront of innovation, dedicated to bringing the latest advancements for the well-being of our community, ensuring patient safety and comfort.”

The launch of this robotic system represents a significant step forward in orthopedic surgery, providing patients in Navi Mumbai and beyond with cutting-edge treatment options that promise better outcomes and enhanced quality of life. With the MISSO robotic system, Medicover Hospital is poised to redefine knee and hip replacement surgeries, setting new benchmarks in precision, safety, and patient recovery.
