 Namaskara, I am Dr. Murli Nath, Orthopedic Surgeon working in Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. Minimally invading ticker means we make a small incision for the joint replacement. Usually previously we were doing almost putting a 15 to 20 cm long incision, nowadays it has come to around 10 cm. With this technique there is less bleeding, less damage to the tissues and patient can recover faster. Nowadays there is no need to do any blood transfusion because of the minimally invasive joint replacement surgeries.
