FOR THE FIRST-TIME IN TELUGU STATES STAR HOSPITAL INTRODUCES ADVANCED ROBOTIC SURGERY FOR PERSONALIZED KNEE REPLACEMENTS

31^st March, Hyderabad: Star Hospital, one of the leading healthcare providers, is proud to announce the introduction of the latest and most advanced VELYS Robotic-assisted technology for Knee Replacement procedure. The new technology allows for a personalized surgical plan to be created for each patient, resulting in the most accurate and customized knee replacement surgery possible.

Dr. Neelam V Ramana Reddy, Consultant Orthopedician & Joint Replacement Surgeon, Star Hospitals, said, "VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution from DePuy Synthes, the Orthopaedic Wing of Johnson & Johnson, uses advanced AI-based technology to empower surgeons to deliver tailor-made knee replacements with minimal invasion. We are happy to offer this latest technology to our patients. During the procedure, the surgeon uses the robotic arm of the VELYS system to make precise cuts and positioning of the implant, resulting in a more accurate and effective knee replacement. VELYS technology is a game-changer for knee replacement surgery, and we are confident that it will provide our patients with the most accurate and customized treatment possible.”

ADVANTAGES OF VELYS TECHNOLOGY

• Designed for digital precision with the latest Attune implant
• Helps the surgeon optimize the outcomes by using data unique to the patient's anatomy
• Personalized alignment, improved accuracy and patient satisfaction
• Keeps the surgeon in control by aiding with the requisite digital precision during the procedure
• Aids the surgeon by accessing state-of-the-art technology to provide insights for real-time decision-making
• Minimal soft tissue trauma compared to standard knee replacement
• No additional Imaging (CT/ MRI Scan) required

Robotics can help increase the accuracy of implant alignment and surgical reproducibility while shortening patient recovery and reducing post-operative complications. Together with the ATTUNE Knee System, the use of the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution during TKA (Total Knee Arthroplasty) can lead to exceptional clinical benefits when compared to manual TKA (Total Knee Arthroplasty).

The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution gives surgeons the control they are used to, adapts to their workflow, and reduces procedural steps without the increased risk of damage to the soft tissue envelope.

Knee replacement surgery is a common medical procedure for people who suffer from chronic knee pain and disability due to joint damage or injury. The surgery involves removing the damaged parts of the knee joint and replacing them with artificial components.

The severity of knee replacement varies from person to person, depending on factors such as age, overall health, and the extent of the knee damage. In general, knee replacement is considered a last resort treatment option, and it is usually recommended only when other less invasive treatments have failed to provide relief from the symptoms. The decision to undergo knee replacement surgery is made after a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional, who considers the patient's medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies.

Knee replacement surgery can be life-changing, as it can relieve the chronic pain and disability caused by knee damage.  With the latest advancements in technology, such as the VELYS Robotic-assisted technology, patients can expect a more personalized and accurate knee replacement surgery, which can lead to better outcomes and improved quality of life.

At Star Hospital, patient care and outcomes are their top priorities, and the introduction of VELYS technology demonstrates their commitment to providing the highest level of care to the patients.

The VELYS Robotic-assisted technology is now available for patients undergoing knee replacement surgery at Star Hospital.
