In a remarkable advancement for orthopaedic care, Max Multi Speciality Center, Panchsheel Park has successfully conducted a same-day total knee replacement on a 78-year-old woman, showcasing the power of next-generation robotic surgery in improving recovery outcomes.
The procedure was performed using the MISSO Robot, an AI-driven, Made-in-India robotic system, designed to enhance surgical precision and minimize tissue trauma. The patient, Kamlesh Bajaj, was discharged just 12 hours after surgery, marking a significant leap toward faster, safer recovery protocols—especially for senior citizens.
The operation was led by Dr. Sujoy Bhattacharjee, Chairman, Max Institute of Robotic Joint Replacement, and his expert team. The patient was admitted in the morning, underwent surgery, and began walking within three hours of the procedure. By evening, she returned home in stable, pain-free condition—an outcome rarely seen in traditional knee replacement cases.
Reflecting on the success, Dr. Bhattacharjee noted,
“With robotic platforms like MISSO, we’re redefining joint replacement possibilities. Performing a total knee replacement on an elderly patient who could walk home the same day is a testament to the precision and control the system offers. MISSO ensures perfect implant alignment and balance with minimal tissue disruption, translating to quicker, smoother recoveries. It’s inspiring to see an indigenous innovation achieve such global-level results.”
This achievement not only reinforces Max Multi Speciality Center, Panchsheel Park’s leadership in robotic orthopaedics but also highlights India’s growing self-reliance (Atmanirbharta) in advanced healthcare technology. With tools like MISSO, India is steadily emerging as a global hub for cutting-edge, patient-centric medical innovation.
