Faridabad (Haryana) [India]: Sarvodaya Hospital, Sector 8, Faridabad, has successfully completed 100 robotic knee replacement surgeries using Misso, India’s first fully automatic robotic system for total knee replacement. This achievement is a significant leap in India’s medtech sector, aligning with the Make in India initiative.
PM Modi Recognizes Misso’s Innovation
The celebrations at Sarvodaya Hospital come after Prime Minister Narendra Modi recognized Meril’s Misso robotic system at the inauguration of Namo Hospital in Silvassa, reaffirming India’s growing dominance in homegrown medical innovations.
Misso’s global recognition extends beyond India, receiving accolades from leading surgeons in Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Italy for its precision, efficiency, and adaptability. Unlike conventional robotic systems, Misso seamlessly integrates into operation theatres, even in hospitals with space constraints, making advanced robotic surgery more accessible.
Sarvodaya Hospital Leading the Way in Robotic Surgery
Dr. Sujoy Bhattacharjee, HOD & Director – Robotic Joint Replacement, emphasized the transformative impact of Misso in India’s healthcare sector:
“The adoption of Misso at Sarvodaya marks a significant leap for India’s healthcare innovation. We are proud to be torchbearers in the adoption of homegrown robotic technology that not only transforms knee replacement surgery but also instils confidence in hospitals across the country. The fact that leading surgeons from Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Italy recognize Misso’s excellence further solidifies our position in the global landscape of surgical robotics.”
Transforming Lives Through Robotic Knee Replacement
Dr. Rakesh Gupta, Chairman of Sarvodaya Healthcare, shared how Misso has revolutionized knee replacement surgeries, benefiting patients with diverse medical conditions:
“We have successfully performed 100 surgeries using Misso, transforming the lives of patients across different age groups, medical complexities, and even deformities. From a 65-year-old male with bilateral knee tenderness and crepitus to a 46-year-old female suffering from bilateral joint line tenderness and varus deformity, each case presented unique challenges. Yet, through advanced surgical expertise, we have restored mobility and ensured a pain-free life for our patients at Sarvodaya.”
India’s Shift to Homegrown Robotic Technology
The success of Misso signals a paradigm shift in knee replacement procedures, reducing reliance on imported robotic systems and pioneering world-class technology in India. The introduction of daycare knee replacement surgeries marks a new era in patient recovery, efficiency, and accessibility.
By embracing indigenous innovation, Sarvodaya Hospital, Sec 8, Faridabad serves as an inspiration for other healthcare institutions to adopt homegrown technology for better patient outcomes. This milestone highlights India’s transformation from a technology recipient to an innovation leader, setting new global benchmarks in medical advancements.
