Robotic-assisted hip surgery offers several advantages over conventional methods:
- Enhanced precision in implant placement, reducing wear and misalignment
- Minimally invasive technique that preserves healthy tissue
- Reduced post-operative pain and quicker recovery
- Lower risk of complications like dislocation or leg length discrepancy
- Improved long-term function and joint stability
These benefits make robotic hip surgery a preferred option for patients seeking durable and effective hip solutions.
Candidates for robotic hip surgery typically include patients with:
- Advanced osteoarthritis causing chronic pain and stiffness
- Avascular necrosis affecting the femoral head
- Hip fractures or trauma requiring joint replacement
- Patients with failed previous hip surgeries needing revision
- Individuals seeking faster recovery and precise surgical outcomes
Dr. Utsav Agrawal evaluates each patient carefully, ensuring that robotic-assisted surgery is the most appropriate and effective treatment.
Successful robotic hip surgery begins with a comprehensive pre-operative assessment. Patients undergo a complete medical evaluation, imaging studies, and physical examination. The robotic system uses 3D planning to map the patient’s anatomy, allowing precise implant sizing and alignment. Patients are informed about the surgical procedure, expected outcomes, and recovery milestones. This detailed planning ensures safety, improves accuracy, and enhances overall patient confidence.
Robotic hip surgery involves small incisions and precise guidance from the robotic system. The robot assists the surgeon in:
- Positioning the implant with millimetric accuracy
- Removing damaged bone while preserving healthy tissue
- Ensuring optimal joint alignment and stability
Dr. Utsav Agrawal supervises the entire procedure, combining robotic precision with surgical expertise for optimal results. The minimally invasive approach reduces tissue trauma and shortens hospital stays.
- Smaller incisions lower infection risk
- Accurate implant placement prevents complications
- Minimal tissue disruption reduces post-operative pain
- Faster return to daily activities
Robotic technology enhances surgical precision, making hip replacement safer and more effective while optimising long-term outcomes.
Varunam Super Speciality Hospital provides modern facilities to support robotic-assisted hip procedures:
- State-of-the-art operating theatres equipped with robotic systems
- Pre-operative 3D planning software for accurate implant alignment
- Dedicated post-operative rehabilitation units
- Comprehensive monitoring and critical care services
These facilities ensure safe surgical procedures and enhanced outcomes for patients undergoing robotic hip surgery.
Maintaining hip health after surgery is essential:
- Follow prescribed rehabilitation and physiotherapy routines
- Engage in low-impact exercises to strengthen hip muscles
- Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on the joint
- Attend regular follow-ups with Dr. Utsav Agrawal
- Avoid high-impact activities until cleared by the surgeon
These practices support recovery, enhance mobility, and prolong the lifespan of the hip implant.
