 I am Jai Prakash, 76 year old living in Vijayanagar for last 40 years. I had this knee problem for last almost 8-10 years. So I had prolonged this issue of getting operated for 8 years. So when I got introduced to Samartharya, he suggested me to go in for a robotic surgery. So ultimately he shifted to the Manipal Hospital and I did get my surgery done from him only. Because I was totally convinced about his explanation. So I went to Manipal Hospital and got checked up once again from Dr. Samartharya. Hi, I am Dr. Samartharya, consultant orthopedic joint replacement and robotic surgeon at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road. Mr. Jai Prakash, who is a 76 year old gentleman, met me about a month ago. So he had been suffering from bilateral knee osteoarthritis for about 10 years now. But for some reason or the other, he kept postponing the surgery. But then he reached a point where he had to depend on others and this was quite debilitating for him and he decided to undergo knee replacement surgery. I explained to him about the availability of robotic assisted knee replacement surgery and the benefits of the same. Especially given his age of 76 years, robotic surgery is quite useful given the fact that we don't use any intra medullary jigs. Because the use of these jigs where we put a rod inside the bony canal can cause something called a fat embolism where fat globules are pushed into the artery and this can lead to serious health conditions. So ultimately I was shifted from the surgery operation room to the observatory room and then shifted to the ward. Even I got excellent service after I shifted to the ward and Dr. Samartharya was a source of inspiration for me till from the surgery date to till I got discharged from Manipal Hospital. In robotic surgery, we don't use these normal knee replacement jigs and hence the risk of fat embolism becomes quite low. Mr. Jay Prakash had grade 4 osteoarthritis in both his knees with various deformity. So these surgeries can be done with the help of a robot and we undertake such surgeries on a routine basis at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road Department of Orthopedics. Using the robot we can do total hip replacement, total knee replacement and partial knee replacement which will give pinpoint accuracy and the best results. Even the staff at Manipal Hospital were so excellent. They were cooperative. I was so impressed with the post-operative care also at the Manipal Hospital. Even Ashwin who was a physiotherapist guided me what all I have to do. So ultimately I am very glad that I owe my gratitude to Dr. Samartharya. I thank Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road. Thank you.
