Amara Hospital Chairman Dr. Prasad Gourineni addressing a media conference in Tirupati on Thursday on the completion of 100 robotically assisted knee replacement surgeries.
Amara Hospital, part of the Amara Raja Group, has so far completed 100 robotic arthroplasty surgeries at its Tirupati hospital. The latest one was carried out recently on a septuagenarian from Varadaraja Nagar in the city.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday (February 19), hospital chairman Prasad Gourineni called it a matter of pride and attributed the success to the medical and support teams.
“Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgeries offer superior precision, minimal tissue damage, reduced postoperative pain, and faster rehabilitation compared to conventional procedures,” said Dr. Prasad and claimed that Amara Hospitals are emerging as a hub for robotic surgeries in Rayalaseema.
In addition to knee replacements, the hospital also performs robotic-assisted hip replacements and advanced spine surgeries using minimally invasive techniques that promote faster recovery and minimal post-operative discomfort, he added.
