Udaipur, Paras Health, Udaipur has achieved a significant milestone in the field of orthopedics by successfully performing South Rajasthan’s first fully automated CUVIS robotic partial knee replacement surgery (Unicondylar Knee Replacement). The surgery was performed by senior orthopedic specialist Dr. Ashish Singhal.
Patient regained mobility within hours
This revolutionary surgery enabled a 70-year-old patient to walk independently within just 2-3 hours post-operation. The patient was able to use the toilet unaided and even climb stairs. He was discharged the very next day and required only mild painkillers. The patient reported minimal pain, demonstrating the effectiveness and minimally invasive nature of the surgery.
CUVIS Robotic System: Precision at its Best
The procedure was carried out using Meril’s state-of-the-art, fully automated CUVIS navigation system. This technology allows the surgeon to precisely replace only the damaged portion of the knee while preserving the healthy bone and ligaments. The result is reduced bleeding and significantly faster recovery.
Dr. Ashish Singhal stated:
“For patients suffering from arthritis confined to one compartment of the knee, this technique is a superior alternative to traditional total knee replacement. It offers higher precision, less pain, and quicker recovery. Our goal is to make advanced orthopedic technology accessible to the people of South Rajasthan.”
Teamwork and Technology: The Key to Success
The success of this surgery was a result of excellent coordination among the hospital’s orthopedic, anesthesia, nursing, and rehabilitation teams, combined with advanced operation theatre infrastructure.
