JAMMU, Sept 6: A 70-year-old woman from Ludhiana, weighing 110 kilograms and suffering from severe diabetes and hypertension, has successfully undergone bilateral knee replacement surgery at Livasa Super Speciality Hospital, Amritsar. The complex procedure was performed by Dr Ranjit Singh, renowned orthopedic surgeon known for his innovative “Zero Error Technique” in joint replacement surgeries.
The patient, Damini, had been delaying surgery for years due to her health complications. However, after consulting Dr Singh, she was assured that the surgery could be life-changing. Remarkably, she resumed walking within two days of the procedure, thanks to the advanced technique used.
Dr Singh, who is Oxford (UK) trained and has performed over 20,000 successful surgeries with a claimed 100% success rate, explained that the Zero Error Technique involves minimal cuts and nearly no blood loss, making it safer for high-risk patients. “Obesity, diabetes, and hypertension make knee replacement extremely challenging, but with precision-based methods, recovery can be fast and effective,” he said.
Highlighting the drawbacks of robotic surgery, Dr Singh pointed out issues such as longer surgical time, excessive bleeding, higher risk of infection and dependence on machine accuracy. “Flawed calibration can lead to suboptimal outcomes, which is why robotic methods are not always reliable,” he noted.
In contrast, his Zero Error Technique combines human expertise with cutting-edge technology, ensuring precise implant placement, reduced complications, minimal tissue trauma and quicker recovery. Importantly, it also offers a cost-effective and insurance-friendly alternative to robotic surgery, making it accessible to a wider section of patients.
