Robotic Hip Replacement Surgery in Mumbai: Procedure, Recovery and Cost

Introduction

Hip pain that limits walking, sitting, or even sleeping is more than just discomfort. For many patients in Mumbai, it slowly takes away independence and confidence. Simple activities like climbing stairs, driving, or stepping out of the house become exhausting. When medications, physiotherapy, and injections no longer provide relief, hip replacement surgery becomes a consideration.

Advances in orthopaedic surgery have changed how hip replacements are performed today. Robotic hip replacement surgery allows surgeons to plan and execute the procedure with a higher level of precision compared to conventional techniques. By using detailed imaging and real time guidance, the surgery is tailored to each patient’s anatomy rather than a one size fits all approach.

What Is Robotic Hip Replacement Surgery

Robotic hip replacement surgery is an advanced form of total hip replacement where a robotic system assists the surgeon during the procedure. The robot does not perform surgery on its own. It works as a precision tool that helps the surgeon plan the surgery in detail and place the implant exactly as intended.

Before surgery, imaging such as CT scans is used to create a three dimensional model of the patient’s hip joint. This allows accurate planning of implant size, position, and alignment. During surgery, the robotic system provides real time feedback and ensures bone preparation and implant placement stay within the planned boundaries.

Who May Need Robotic Hip Replacement

Robotic hip replacement may be recommended for patients who experience:

• Severe hip pain due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis

• Hip stiffness that limits walking or daily activities

• Hip joint damage after trauma or fracture

• Avascular necrosis of the hip

• Failed response to non surgical treatments

Common Symptoms That Indicate Hip Joint Damage

Patients often report:

• Persistent groin or thigh pain

• Difficulty standing up from a seated position

• Reduced walking distance

• Night pain or disturbed sleep

• Limping or imbalance while walking

How Robotic Hip Replacement Works

Pre Surgery Planning

Detailed imaging is done to study the hip joint anatomy. Robotic planning helps create a personalised surgical plan that determines implant size, angle, and alignment.

During Surgery

The surgeon follows the pre planned strategy using robotic guidance. The system ensures precise bone preparation and implant positioning while protecting surrounding tissues.

Implant Placement

Accurate placement helps maintain leg length balance, joint stability, and smoother movement after surgery.

Benefits of Robotic Hip Replacement Over Conventional Surgery

• Higher accuracy in implant positioning

• Better joint balance and stability

• Reduced risk of leg length mismatch

• Less soft tissue disruption

• Improved movement and comfort

• Potentially longer implant life

Step by Step Procedure Explained

1. Anaesthesia is administered for comfort and safety

2. A controlled incision is made to access the hip joint

3. Damaged bone and cartilage are removed

4. Robotic guidance assists in preparing the bone

5. Artificial hip components are placed accurately

6. Joint movement and stability are checked

7. Incision is closed and recovery begins

Recovery and Outcomes After Surgery

Hospital Stay

Most patients stay in hospital for two to three days.

Walking Timeline

Standing and walking with support usually begins within one to two days after surgery.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy starts early to restore strength, flexibility, and balance.

Return to Daily Activities

• Light daily activities within two to three weeks

• Comfortable walking by four to six weeks

• Continued improvement over three months

Risks and Safety Considerations

Robotic hip replacement is safe when performed by an experienced surgeon, but like all surgeries, it carries some risks:

• Infection• Blood clots

• Implant dislocation

• Nerve or blood vessel injury

Robotic planning helps reduce many of these risks, but complete elimination is not possible.

FAQs

Is robotic hip replacement better than traditional hip replacement

Robotic surgery improves precision and planning, which can support better balance and function.

How long does a robotic hip replacement last

Many implants last fifteen to twenty years or longer depending on bone quality, activity, and overall health.

Is robotic hip replacement painful

Most patients experience manageable post operative pain that improves steadily with physiotherapy.

When can I return to normal life after surgery

Many patients resume routine activities in six to eight weeks, with continued improvement over three months.
