Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 20: Sakra World Hospital, Bengaluru, has achieved a notable milestone by completing over 425 orthopedic surgeries in May. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Chandrashekar P., Director Orthopedics, the 15-member orthopedic team has created history by setting a new standard in the state of Karnataka. The team performed more than 275 joint replacements, the highest number recorded monthly, along with more than 70 remaining arthroscopy surgeries and trauma surgeries. This achievement made Sakra World Hospital the first hospital in Karnataka to achieve such an impressive volume of surgeries in just 30 days.
The Orthopedic Institute has performed more than 30,000 surgeries under his direction and has served the community for 11 years. In reality, orthopedic surgeries pose unique challenges due to factors such as the complexity of the musculoskeletal system, variability in patient anatomy, and the need for precision in surgical techniques. Surgeons must navigate these complexities while ensuring optimal alignment, stability, and functionality of the affected area. Additionally, orthopedic procedures often involve delicate soft tissue handling and complex bone adjustments, making joint replacement challenging.
"We are proud to send all of these patients home, track their physical therapy, significantly improve their lifestyle, relieve their pain, and bring smiles to them and their families. In addition to knee replacements, we provide coverage 360-degree comprehensive care, including cardiology services for our surgical patients. The majority of our knee replacement patients are geriatric and often have conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and coronary problems. These patients require a high level of care. a dedicated cardiology ICU team available 24/7 to assist the Orthopedics Department whenever required," shared Dr. Chandrashekar P., Director of Orthopedics.
Among these more than 275 patients, Sakra had individuals with pacemakers, angioplasty who opted for knee replacements and those who had previously undergone coronary bypass surgery. The team is equipped to care for all types of patients and offers 24/7 facilities. Now in its 11th year of operation, Sakra uses robotic-assisted navigation and surgeries, as well as arthroscopy or keyhole surgeries for both the knee and shoulder.
Arthroscopic surgeries involve ligament repairs, such as ACL and PCL repairs, as well as meniscus and cartilage surgeries in the knee. For shoulder procedures, muscle repairs known as rotator cuff repairs, dislocation-related surgeries called Bankart surgeries, cartilage surgeries, and shoulder replacements are regularly performed.
"It is a moment of immense pride for Sakra, as completing over 275 joint replacement surgeries in one month is a significant achievement, given the meticulous care required for such delicate procedures," shared Lovekesh Phasu, COO of the Sakra World Hospital group, Bengaluru.
"We are delighted to reach this milestone in such a short time. Sakra is committed to bringing more advancements for the betterment of our patients. With the trust of our patients, we aim to continue growing," shared Naoya Matsumi, Deputy CEO of Sakra World Hospital , Bengaluru.
