An Octogenarian Gets Mobility with Robotic Precision: Narayana Health City Performs 100 Robotic Knee Surgeries in Two Months

Of 100 patients treated, 53 % were female and a significant 87% were over the age of 60 years

Bengaluru, November 30, 2023: Mrs. Nagma (name changed), an 82-year-old patient who had been immobile for nearly ten years due to severe knee arthritis, discovered a renewed sense of freedom at Narayana Health City in Bengaluru. Through a groundbreaking robotic knee surgery conducted by a highly skilled team of doctors, she regained her mobility. This remarkable success story represents just one among the 100 cases of robotic knee replacements performed within a span of just two months by the exceptional orthopedic team at Narayana Health City.

“Robotic knee replacement has almost given me a new life,” said Mrs. Nagma, echoing the sentiments of numerous patients who have benefitted from this cutting-edge procedure. Looking at my advanced age & the fact that I suffer from diabetes, I was very much concerned about the recovery process. But the precision, technology, and doctors’ passion for restoring my mobility amazed me. The scar is minimal and the doctor made me walk the same day itself, which surprised me” said Mrs Nagma.

Robotic Knee Replacement surgeries have emerged as a preferred choice for patients seeking a more precise and advanced solution for knee problems. Narayana Health City’s data from the last two months underpins the growing popularity of this procedure amongst patients. During this time frame, 100 total knee replacement (TKR) procedures were done using robotic technology. Out of these, 53% of patients were females and a significant 87% were over the age of 60 years, underscoring the growing popularity of this technology across demographics.

The Hospital’s adoption of advanced robotic knee replacement technology offers a new paradigm of care. Compared to conventional procedures, Robotic Knee surgery is more accurate due to the level of precision it offers which is beyond the natural ability of the human eye. This allows for accurate implant positioning and personalization. Robotic-assisted surgery uses minimally-invasive incisions making the procedure safer as there is less tissue damage. This also results in less scarring, a lower risk of infection, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. Overall, doctors at Narayana Health City have recorded a remarkable success rate with Robotic Knee Replacements. Also, Patients with comorbidities have benefitted from a safer option, same-day mobility, and minimal blood loss which has contributed to greater patient satisfaction.

While a robotic arm or device assists the procedure, surgeons remain in full control and their expertise enhances the clinical outcomes.

Narayana Health City offers a comprehensive continuum of care that commences with the Outpatient Department, encompasses our cutting-edge Robotic Knee Program, and culminates with our state-of-the-art Physiotherapy department, all working in tandem to deliver superior clinical outcomes.

As per reports, it is estimated that over 15 crore Indians suffer from knee problems and nearly four crore patients are in need of a total knee replacement (TKR). In the next decade or so, knee arthritis is expected to emerge as the fourth most common cause of physical disability in India. According to experts, there is a huge gap that needs to be filled up. Robotic Knee Replacement surgeries have emerged as a preferred choice for patients seeking a more precise and advanced solution for knee problems.

Praveen business Global SINGAPORE Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia a Bright Spot in the Global Flexible Office Market in 2023 with TEC Centres in the Region Exhibiting Average Occupancy Rates of Over 90%

TEC’s operations in Southeast Asia have seen exceptional growth in 2023, driven by client-led demand in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines; growth momentum is projected to continue through 2024.

SINGAPORE, Nov 28, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The Executive Centre (“TEC”), the leading premium flexible workspace provider that serves more than 47,000 Members in 33 cities across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, has seen exceptional growth in Southeast Asia in 2023, with the momentum expected to carry on into 2024.

Led by client demand, TEC has added four new centers in Singapore, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, and Manila this year, with the latest addition in Manila on the 8th floor of Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower 2 which opened last month.

These new openings are backed by consistently high demand and occupancy rates of over 90% across multiple markets in the region in 2023. As of September 2023, TEC’s centers in Singapore and Manila are leading its portfolio at 95% and 98% occupancy rates, followed not far behind by Ho Chi Minh City at 91% and Jakarta at 81%. With these new expansions, TEC has added almost 1,200 workstations across these four key Southeast Asian markets in 2023, representing a 33% increase in workstation growth.

In Singapore, demand for office space is growing as multinational companies seek to relocate to the city-state and set up headquarters there to take advantage of Singapore’s status as a gateway city and key business hub. These include firms from the financial industry such as asset managers, private wealth managers, private equity firms, and family offices, as well as technology startups from across the region that are seeking to move to more flexible workspaces which will allow them to downsize or upsize nimbly.

Office demand is also bolstered by the increasing “back-to-office” momentum in Singapore, as employers tighten hybrid working policies, with CBRE’s 2023 Singapore Office Occupier Sentiment Survey finding that 64% of companies are focused on increasing office attendance or improving work efficiency.

Despite the “back-to-office” trend, the way tenants use office spaces has irrevocably changed since pre-Covid days, as companies place greater emphasis on having access to a combination of purpose-built spaces including private offices for focused work, flexible seating, collaborative meeting rooms, and event spaces.

In response to this increased demand for flexible seating, and meeting, and event spaces, TEC will be opening a new center from the 45th to 47th floors at Singapore Land Tower in January 2024.

Yvonne Lim, Managing Director of Southeast Asia at The Executive Centre said, “We have done exceptionally well particularly in Singapore with a city average occupancy of 95% in 2023, at the same time, we are seeing robust demand for our upcoming new center at Singapore Land Tower on Levels 45 to 47. TEC’s expansions are largely driven by client’s requirement and the inter-city network within SEA continues to look strong with clients having multiple presence with TEC SEA network.”
