Submitted by monika.chaudha… on

Dr. Jumana Haji has been God's blessing to my sister and to our family. My sister suffered a sudden heart failure and subsequently underwent a heart transplant in 2022. Dr. Jumana played an integral part in keeping her alive whilst she was critically ill for a continuous period of 3 months in the ICU. My sister might not have made it through without her care. A truly incredible doctor!

FAQs

  • What is ECMO?
    ECMO, short for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, functions much like a heart-lung bypass machine employed in open-heart surgeries. During ECMO treatment, the patient's blood is oxygenated by an artificial lung within the ECMO system, ensuring that the body's oxygen requirements are met until the patient's heart and lungs can resume their normal function.
  • What are the types of ECMO?
    Two primary types of ECMO exist: Veno-Venous (V-V) ECMO and Arterio-Venous (A-V) ECMO. Veno-Venous ECMO utilizes a single cannula, effectively incorporating two catheters into one, primarily employed in medical conditions. Arterio-Venous ECMO, on the other hand, employs two cannulas. The selection of ECMO type is contingent upon the patient's specific condition and illness.
  • Is ECMO safe?
    Over time, ECMO equipment has evolved to incorporate safer and more durable materials, reducing the need for frequent circuit changes. Initially, complications such as bleeding and increased blood product requirements were common, but these have been significantly minimized. With skilled and well-trained practitioners, ECMO implementation is now safer, leading to fewer procedure-related complications.
  • When to use ECMO?
    ECMO becomes necessary when a patient faces life-threatening conditions such as severe heart failure, reversible cardiorespiratory failure, or severe lung infections. It's employed when conventional medical treatments fail to yield significant improvement. Timely initiation of ECMO is crucial, as it generally leads to better prognoses.
  • Why choose Fortis Hospital, Mulund for ECMO?
    ECMO is an exceptional medical procedure, but its effectiveness relies on the collaborative efforts of the team. At Fortis Hospital Mulund in Mumbai, our multidisciplinary team comprises leading heart surgeons and cardiologists, backed by skilled and well-equipped staff proficient in managing critical cases of heart failure and lung infections. With the collective expertise of our staff, Fortis Hospital Mulund is recognized as a premier center in Mumbai for ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) therapy retrieval services. Our team excels in reaching critically ill patients across the city, utilizing ECMO for transport, stabilization, and treatment.
  • Is ECMO suitable to all?
    The attending physician evaluates all medical procedures to determine the suitability of ECMO on a case-by-case basis. However, individuals who have undergone brain surgery are not eligible for ECMO.
Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery at Fortis Hospital, Noida

Fortis Hospital, Noida, unveils Uttar Pradesh’s most Advanced Robotic Joint Replacement Technology; with a commitment to provide the highest level of patient care and precision.

Experience the revolution in joint replacement procedures with unparalleled accuracy, improved outcomes, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and accelerated recovery; offered by this cutting-edge joint replacement technology. Discover the transformative benefits of joint replacement surgery with the Mako Stryker Robotic System, setting a higher standard for precision, accuracy, and patient satisfaction.

 

Benefits of Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery:

1. Precision: Robotic systems provide unparalleled precision and accuracy in implant placement, ensuring optimal alignment and fit tailored to the patient's unique anatomy. This precision can lead to improved joint function, stability, and longevity of the implant.

2. Minimally Invasive: Robotic joint replacement surgery is often minimally invasive, requiring smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery. This results in reduced tissue trauma, less blood loss, and faster recovery times for patients, allowing for a quicker return to daily activities and improved overall quality of life.

3. Faster Recovery: Due to the minimally invasive nature of robotic surgery and the precision in implant placement, patients undergoing robotic joint replacement often experience shorter hospital stays and faster rehabilitation compared to traditional surgery. This accelerated recovery process enables patients to resume their normal activities sooner and reduces the overall recovery time.

4. Reduced Pain: Robotic-assisted surgery can result in reduced postoperative pain and discomfort for patients, thanks to smaller incisions and less tissue trauma. This leads to a more comfortable recovery experience and may require less postoperative pain medication.

5. Long-term Outcomes: Studies have shown that robotic joint replacement surgery can lead to excellent long-term outcomes, including improved joint function, reduced risk of implant wear and loosening, and increased patient satisfaction compared to traditional surgical techniques.

Contact Fortis Hospital, Noida to explore the future of orthopedic joint surgeries with our advanced robotic technology. Schedule a consultation to discuss personalized treatment options tailored to your unique needs. Your journey to optimal joint health begins here.

 

Here are some of the common procedures for which Mako Stryker robotic surgery can be utilized:

 

1. Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Mako Stryker robotic technology allows for precise planning and execution of total knee replacement surgery. It helps in optimizing the alignment and positioning of the knee implants, leading to improved function and longevity of the replaced joint.

 

2. Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): For patients with localized knee arthritis or damage confined to one part of the knee joint, Mako Stryker robotic surgery can facilitate partial knee replacement. This procedure preserves healthy bone and tissue while addressing the damaged portion of the knee, resulting in a more natural feeling joint.

 

3. Total Hip Replacement (THR): Mako Stryker robotic technology can also be used for total hip replacement surgery. It assists surgeons in the precise placement of the hip implants, optimizing stability and range of motion of the hip joint.

 

4. Total Shoulder Replacement: Although less common, Mako Stryker robotic surgery can also be applied to total shoulder replacement procedures. It helps in the accurate positioning of the shoulder implants, which is crucial for restoring shoulder function and reducing the risk of complications.

 

5. Revision Joint Replacement: In cases where a previous joint replacement has failed or requires revision surgery, Mako Stryker robotic technology can assist surgeons in addressing complex anatomical challenges and achieving better outcomes for patients undergoing revision joint replacement procedures.
