Amara Hospital completes 100 robotic knee replacement surgeries

Amara Hospital, part of the Amara Raja group, has completed 100 robotic arthroplasty surgeries at its Tirupati hospital so far. The latest one was performed recently on a septuagenarian from Varadaraja Nagar in the city.

Addressing a media conference here on Thursday (February 19), hospital chairperson Prasad Gourineni called it a matter of pride and attributed the achievement to the medical and support teams.

“Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgeries offer superior precision, minimal tissue damage, reduced post-operative pain and quicker rehabilitation compared to conventional precedures,” Dr. Prasad said and claimed that Amara Hospitals was emerging as a hub for robotics surgeries in Rayalaseema.

Apart from knee replacement, the hospital also performs robotic-assisted hip replacements and advanced spine surgeries using minimally invasive techniques that promote quicker recovery and minimal postoperative discomfort, he added.
