AHMEDABAD, JAN 11
Save Life Hospital, a provider of world-class healthcare services in Ahmedabad, on Friday announced it has set a new benchmark in medical innovation with the successful installation of Gujarat’s first AI-powered robotic surgery system, MISSO, for joint replacement surgeries. Within six months of deploying MISSO, the hospital has performed over 50 robotic knee replacement surgeries. This pioneering approach combines the expertise of skilled surgeons with the precision of cutting-edge AI technology, transforming patient care and recovery outcomes, said Dr. Rutul Gandhi, Director of the Orthopedic and Joint Replacement Department, Save Life Hospital.
The hospital was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi.
MISSO Robotic System is the most advanced fully active surgical robotic technology assisting surgeons with personalised pre-planning and precise cutting for predictable and consistent results in joint replacement surgeries. It is dynamically equipped with an optical tracking sensor, a 6-axis articulated robotic arm and superior safety sensors. It also helps surgeons to do real-time gap checks and intra-op modifications of surgical plans.
Dr. Rutul Gandhi, said, “AI-based robotic knee replacement surgeries represent the future of orthopedic care. By enhancing precision and minimizing risks, this technology enables faster recovery and improved outcomes. At Save Life Hospital, we are committed to making world-class healthcare accessible to all, offering hope and confidence to our patients. Post-surgery, the patients can commence their active life and sportspersons can take part in tournaments with more confidence.”
AI-based Robotic knee replacement provides numerous advantages. Enhanced visualisation and precise control enable surgeons to tailor procedures to each patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring optimal alignment and implant fit. This precision reduces post-surgery complications, such as pain and swelling, while enhancing joint functionality. Moreover, AI-based robotic techniques minimise tissue damage and blood loss, resulting in shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery time.
Dr. Gandhi and his team have successfully performed numerous robotic knee replacement surgeries in recent months and transformed the lives of numerous patients.
Patients speak
One remarkable case featured a 75-year-old patient with cardiac complications who faced significant surgical risks because of his condition. He underwent a safe and efficient robotic knee replacement, ensuring a swift recovery and an improved quality of life.
Another case was of a 62-year-old male suffering from debilitating knee pain that severely restricted his routine life. After undergoing robotic knee replacement surgery, he not only regained his mobility but also embarked on a mission to spread awareness about this advanced procedure and the need to seek timely medical intervention.
An old woman, who had undergone the AI-based robotic surgery, shared her experience and the efficacy of this procedure.
“These cases demonstrate the versatility of robotic surgeries in addressing complex medical challenges. The patient outcomes are truly remarkable and offer hope for others,” added Dr. Gandhi.
Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and driven by a patient-first philosophy, Save Life Hospital is committed to healthcare excellence. The hospital also focuses on community outreach programmes, ensuring that advanced treatments like robotic surgeries are accessible even to underserved populations.
