Life saving hip replacement surgery done in 5 Minutes-Dr Harprit
Jalandhar
Amar Singh from Jalandhar, a 92-year-old individual, sustained a hip fracture. Having a history of heart problem with only 30 % of heart functional (lvef). Amar Singh had already been operated on pts with even less than 18 pc ht functions.
Amar Singh was taken up for surgery by Dr. Harprit Singh of Orthonova Hospital,Jalandhar, for partial Hip Replacement (Hemi Replacement) and the surgery was carried out in less than 5 minutes. Amar Singh was able to stand the next day and started walking in just two days time.
Dr. Harprit of Orthonova Hospital, shared some insights, post the miraculous surgery: “A precise albeit quick surgery has its own benefits. There is almost no blood loss in such a short duration. Tissue desiccation is minimal therefore recovery is faster and as fibrosis is less, pain is minimal. Overall, the recovery of the patient is much faster than usual and chances of infection are marginally less as air contact is for a very short time as compared to a longer surgery of over 1.5 hours.”
A precise and fast surgery has its own advantages as Dr. Harprit said later. In a quick surgery, the heart doesn’t get the load of a prolonged operation and heavy dose of drugs and therefore the recovery is faster.
