Marengo Asia Hospitals Gurugram is the first and only hospital in Delhi NCR to use the robotic technique for Hip replacement

Marengo Asia Hospitals Gurugram is the first and only hospital in the entire Delhi NCR region to offer the surgical procedure of total hip replacement through robotic intervention to its patients. The robotic hip is very similar to the traditional procedure of hip replacement. The surgeon removes the damaged tissue to replace it with an artificial joint in the patient's hip. The difference remains that the robotic procedure is conducted with assistance from a robotic arm. The robotic arm-assisted total hip replacement is recommended for patients suffering from inflammatory or non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease. The diseases would include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, post-traumatic arthritis, and hip dysplasia. The team conducting this advanced technique to treat patients is led by Dr Hemant Sharma, Director & HOD, Orthopedics, Marengo Asia Hospitals Gurugram.

Recent times have witnessed a significant number of the population opting for joint replacement surgeries. The reason for this is the decline in the quality of life due to unwarranted pain in the back or hip region or knees. The symptoms are usually the inability to get restful sleep due to pain in the back, difficulty in doing day-to-day activities as earlier, or physical pain and the inability to conduct simple tasks such as taking the stairs or doing activities that involve bending and straightening from the waist down and such. The first options may include painkillers or physiotherapy to restore necessary movement to the body. A hip replacement would be the only option if the other measures fail to render the patient without pain or without movement disorders.

Hip replacements are a significant potential specialty bringing in patients from across the globe to India. Thousands of patients come here for the clinical excellence India offers, for the affordability of the surgery, and for the lack of queues lined up for the surgery. India offers exceptional outcomes and as the surgery is a costly one in the western countries, more and more patients turn to India. It is also a noted fact that this is a complex surgery and can be performed only by a highly experienced and trained Orthopedics surgeon.

Dr Hemant Sharma, Director & HOD, Orthopedics, Marengo Asia Hospitals Gurugram says, "One of the vital components of the robotic hip replacement surgery is the 3D imaging applied to recreate a precise model of the patient's hop joint. This reduces inaccuracies by almost 95 percent, enhancing the precision, amplifying the chances of an even faster recovery following the success of the surgery. The other vital component remains the type and quality of the implant used in the patient. We use the best technology and stand uncompromised on the quality extended to our patients to ensure optimized outcomes in movement recovery in our patients."

Dr Ajay Dogra, Regional Director, Marengo Asia Hospitals says, "Marengo Asia Hospitals continues to extend super-specialized clinical excellence at par with global standards. The robotic arm-assisted surgery promises quicker recovery, restores mobility faster as compared to the traditional method, and helps patients return to their day-to-day activities with less discomfort. We aim to continue extending advanced treatment solutions through the latest techniques to our patients."

India records a significant number of hip replacements every year. Total hip replacements are successfully performed for patients across all age groups, from young teenagers suffering from juvenile arthritis to elderly patients with degenerative disease. With appropriate modifications and management of quality of life, the surgeries have recorded 90?95 percent success. The only factors that can hamper long-lasting success are excess physical activity and overweight.
