A major awareness event in Lucknow has highlighted the life-changing potential of advanced robotic surgery for chronic joint problems. The programme, designed to educate the public, demonstrated how this technology can restore mobility and independence.
'Back to Life' Event Draws Large Crowd in Lucknow
The awareness drive, titled 'Back to Life', was organised at Medanta Hospital in Lucknow. Held on a Wednesday, the session witnessed a strong turnout of over 200 people. The audience comprised a mix of former patients, their family members, and medical professionals, all gathered to share and learn from real-world experiences.
Patient Stories: Regaining Freedom and Mobility
Several patients who underwent the procedure took the stage to narrate their journeys. They explained how robotic joint replacement surgery had drastically improved their quality of life. Common themes in their testimonials included the regained ability to perform everyday activities with ease. Many shared that they can now walk freely, visit the market, cycle, and comfortably ride a scooter or drive a car—tasks that were once painful or impossible.
Medical Expertise: Precision and Safety of Robotic Surgery
Dr Dharmendra Singh, Director of the Department of Orthopaedics and Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery at the hospital, provided crucial medical insights. He explained that robotic joint replacement surgery is a safe and highly effective technological procedure. A key advantage he highlighted is the extreme precision it offers in knee alignment, which leads to better outcomes and longevity of the implant.
Dr Singh emphasized the procedure's significant impact on patients suffering from conditions like osteoarthritis or those enduring chronic joint pain for years. He noted that such conditions often erode daily independence, forcing individuals to rely on others. For them, robotic joint replacement surgery acts as a powerful pain-relieving solution, restoring hope and enabling an active, independent lifestyle once again.
The event successfully served its purpose of informing and empowering people in Lucknow and surrounding areas about a modern surgical option that can alleviate long-term suffering and restore functional mobility.
