This is mainly due to observed benefits of minimal access surgery, such as cosmetic benefits, decreased pain and reduced surgical trauma and reduced hospital stay.”
Dr Deepak Raina said, “We are excited to bring our renowned orthopaedic care closer to the people of Jammu. Joint related symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, limited mobility, swelling, instability, or post-traumatic arthritis caused by falls, injuries, accidents, or sports injuries. With the advent of advanced technology and robotics, timely diagnosis allows for the implementation of appropriate treatments, which can alleviate pain, promote healing, and preserve joint function. With robotic systems, surgeons create 3D models for precise surgery. Real-time imaging and sensors ensure optimal fit and alignment, reducing tissue trauma, pain, and scarring. This approach enhances joint function, improving recovery and quality of life.”
