23 robotic surgeries performed in city's Ganga Hospital in 2 weeks

The robot does not perform the whole surgery but helps in the effective planning and execution processes, as well as in alignment and soft tissue balancing during the process. This method is covered under the Union Government’s 'Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana' and the TN Chief Minister’s 'Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme.'


Coimbatore: Ganga hospital has successfully performed 23 robotic surgeries - total knee replacement (TKR) in two weeks, after acquiring the robots.

Dr. Rajasekaran, Chairman of Orthopaedic, trauma and spine surgery at the Ganga Hospital said the knee replacement surgeries have been enhanced since robotics provides advanced procedures and are accessible. According to Dr. Rajasekaran, "The robot does not perform the whole surgery but helps in the effective planning and execution processes.

The robot helps in alignment and soft tissue balancing during the process. This method is covered under the Union Government’s 'Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana' and the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s 'Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme.'

"This helps create awareness about the use of this advanced technology among patients suffering from arthritis and added that patients could walk normally in a short period once undergoing robotic surgery. Such surgery could avoid human error, where patients sometimes suffer from metal plates that doctors might accidentally place during the process," he concluded.
