Dr Simon Thomas, Director of Robotic Joint Replacements & Orthopedics at Max Hospital, highlighted how the event showcased the transformative impact of robotic joint replacement surgeries.

"For the first time, we observed two clear groups: those who underwent robotic procedures demonstrated faster recovery, enabling them to engage in activities much sooner than those who had traditional surgeries. We also saw remarkable stories from patients who had revision surgeries, proving that complications can be managed effectively, restoring their quality of life," he said.

Thomas also paid tribute to his mentor, Dr Shekhar Aggarwal, acknowledging his significant contributions to the field of joint replacement surgery.
