Shillong, March 02: Manipal Hospitals Mukundapur and Salt Lake clusters, part of the Manipal Hospitals Group, one of India’s largest healthcare networks, organised a two-day North East Media Summit, bringing together media representatives from Assam, Shillong, Arunachal Pradesh, Agartala, and Mizoram.
During the summit, Manipal Hospital, EM Bypass underscored its growing stature as a leading centre for comprehensive orthopaedic care, offering advanced treatment across joint replacement, sports injuries, trauma, spine care, and degenerative musculoskeletal disorders.
The hospital’s focus on clinical excellence and innovation is further demonstrated by the landmark achievement of completing 1,000 Robotic Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgeries in under two years, making it one of the fastest such milestones in Eastern India
Beyond joint replacement, the orthopaedics department at Manipal Hospital EM Bypass offers end-to-end care through a multidisciplinary model that integrates accurate diagnosis, advanced imaging, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and structured post-operative rehabilitation.
This holistic approach ensures personalised treatment plans for patients across all age groups, helping them regain mobility, strength, and long-term functional independence.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement represents a significant advancement in the hospital’s orthopaedic capabilities, enabling enhanced surgical precision, optimal implant alignment, reduced post-operative pain, and faster recovery.
For patients suffering from advanced arthritis and chronic joint conditions, this technology, combined with expert surgical planning, has translated into predictable outcomes and improved quality of life.
The department’s strong clinical outcomes are further supported by a dedicated team of experienced orthopaedic surgeons, anaesthetists, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation specialists, working collaboratively to ensure seamless care from consultation to recovery. This integrated care pathway has led to high patient satisfaction and growing trust among individuals seeking advanced orthopaedic treatment.
Speaking about the milestone, Dr. Vikash Kapoor, Cluster Director – Orthopaedics, Manipal Hospital EM Bypass, said, “Completing 1,000 robotic knee replacement surgeries in less than two years is an important milestone, but it is part of a much larger vision of delivering comprehensive orthopaedic care.
Many patients come to us with years of pain, restricted movement, and fear of losing independence. By combining robotic technology with surgical expertise and structured rehabilitation, we are able to offer precise, reliable outcomes and help patients return to active, fulfilling lives. The real success lies in seeing patients move confidently and regain their quality of life.”
With continued investment in advanced technology, skilled specialists, and patient-centric care pathways, Manipal Hospital, EM Bypass remains focused on setting new benchmarks in orthopaedics, supporting patients across the full spectrum of bone and joint conditions and enabling them to move freely, live actively, and rediscover life beyond pain.
