JAMMU, May 23: Renowned orthopaedic surgeon Dr Ranjit Singh has successfully performed an AI-powered 3D Robolens knee replacement surgery on a 55-year-old morbidly obese patient from Amritsar, enabling him to walk the very next day after the procedure.
The patient, Jeet Singh Nagpal, weighed around 130 kilograms and had reportedly lost hope of leading a normal life after several doctors expressed concerns over the risks involved in knee replacement surgery because of his obesity. He had initially planned to undergo bariatric surgery for weight reduction before considering knee replacement at a later stage.
However, Dr Ranjit Singh assured him of a successful surgery despite his condition. The operation was carried out at IVY Hospital using the doctor’s innovative AI-powered 3D Robolens technique and was completed in just 20 minutes.
According to the doctors, the patient resumed normal daily activities within a week. Dr Singh said the rapid recovery was possible due to minimal blood loss and limited muscle damage during the procedure.
Claiming experience of over 25,000 surgeries during the last 15 years, Dr Singh said the newly introduced 3D Robolens technology offers significant advantages over conventional robotic knee replacement procedures. He said the technique provides real-time 3D mapping of the knee with the help of Artificial Intelligence, enabling greater precision during surgery.
Unlike traditional robotic knee replacement surgery, the new method does not require drilling of metallic pins into the bones, which doctors say can sometimes lead to fractures, nerve or blood vessel damage, and infections.
Dr Singh further stated that while conventional robotic knee replacement surgeries may take up to two hours, the AI-powered 3D Robolens surgery can be completed in around 20 minutes with quicker recovery and reduced post-operative pain for patients.
