We specialize in diagnosing and resolving difficult knee and bones related problems and specialist in this field. Dr. Chandrashekhar P. has expertise in Knee Resurfacing Surgery, Minimally Invasive computer assisted Knee Replacement Surgery and Hip Resurfacing Revision Surgery for Failed Replacements.

Robotic Surgery Basics

CUVIS system provides faster time of recovery for the patient, minimal blood loss during operation and near to natural fitting of the implant to the knee.

The robotic arm of the device consists of an operating software, controller, milling tool and irrigation facilities. The device also has a software for surgical planning. Since, the bone structure for every patient is different, the doctor can look at the three dimensional images of knee of the patients before the operation and can plan for personalised surgeries.

There is also huge amount of flexibility associated with the device. It can check for intraoperative gap checking and also aid in gap balancing. There is manual option to stop the robotic arm if the operation does not go as per the planned way. Using the robotic system both total and partial knee replacement can be performed.

Computer Assisted Surgery Basics

Today approximately 7% of all joint replacement surgeries are completed with the aid of computer navigation technology.

Computers have been assisting surgeons in the operating room since the 1980s. Today approximately 7% of all joint replacement surgeries are completed with the aid of computer navigation technology. Similar to the GPS in your car, these devices guide surgeons to precisely position the components of a hip or knee replacement.

These tools can help surgeons decide what thickness of bone to remove and how to improve limb alignment. In theory, a well-balanced and properly aligned joint replacement should, like your new car tires, last longer if in acceptable alignment. The number of joint replacements done with this technology may grow over the next decade as it continues to improve. Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) enables the surgeon to customize each joint replacement operation down to the degree and millimeter.

Karnataka’s first meniscus transplant performed on patient from Yemen

A heart, liver or kidney transplant involves matching of blood types, extensive screening for infections and life-long immunosuppressants to avoid rejection of donor organ. But a meniscus — the tissue between the leg bone and the thigh bone that prevents grinding of bones against each other — neither has blood supply nor nerves connected to it, which makes its transplant relatively easier. Rame Abdul Fattah (43) from Yemen became the first patient in Karnataka to have successfully undergone meniscus transplant here last Tuesday.
