10 February 2023,Serdang-
Dr Sanjiv Rampal’s orthopaedic unit completed robotic-assisted total knee replacement surgery at Hospital Pengajar Universiti Putra Malaysia (HPUPM) or HSAAS Hospital Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah last week. This was the first time that an ex-government servant patient was able to get robotic knee surgery where the surgery and surgical implant were cleared by JPA (Jabatan Perkhidmatan Amam).
One of the assistant surgeons for the operation stated that the project has received JPA’s endorsement which was the first in a government university hospital for the said procedure. Despite the higher cost of the robotic device compared to conventional machines, its advantages lie in providing greater precision during surgery compared to the conventional technique that relies on the surgeon’s visual acuity. The robotic machine can reduce errors as it can provide more precise indications and guide the surgeon down to the tissue level. Both of the assistant surgeons have participated in the orthopaedic department at HPUPM and were privileged to be a part of such a significant event.

The patient, suffering from left knee pain for the past 3 years, is now satisfied and relieved after the successful procedure. She is scheduled to have the same surgery on her other knee in September. Even though the robotic procedure may be unfamiliar to the public, the patient has full confidence in the staff’s experience at HPUPM. She expresses her heartfelt gratitude for the excellent care she received during her 2-day stay in the ward and emphasizes that she experienced no pain throughout the procedure. She also advises other patients dealing with knee pain to seek treatment as soon as possible and consider total knee replacement surgery if clinical treatment fails to provide relief.

Pembedahan Implan Lutut Robotik Pertama di Hospital Kerajaan Malaysia dilakukan oleh Dr. Sanjiv Rampal

10 Februari, Serdang- Dr. Sanjiv Rampal telah berjaya melakukan pembedahan implan lutut kepada seorang suri rumah tangga, menggunakan kaedah robotik yang julung-julung kalinya bertempat di Hospital Pengajar Universiti Putra Malaysia (HPUPM).

Penggunaan Mesin robotik yang diluluskan oleh kerajaan melalui Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA). Kos yang ditanggung setimpal dengan kecanggihan mesin robotik tersebut yang dapat memberikan lebih ketepatan yang jitu dalam pembedahan implan lutut berbanding dengan teknik biasa yang dilakukan oleh pakar bedah melalui visual. Kaedah robotik dapat membantu pakar bedah melihat struktur tisu yang hanya dapat dilihat melalui imbasan robotik. Selain daripada pakar bedah, terdapat dua orang pembantu pakar bedah yang turut menjayakan projek ini.

Dr. Sanjiv Rampal merupakan seorang pakar bedah yang berpengalaman yang berpangkalan di Kuala Lumpur dan juga penyarah kanan HPUPM. Semasa peringkat awal kerjayanya, beliau mendapat latihan ortopedik di negara German dan Perancis dan meneruskan minatnya di universiti tempatan, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Beliau merupakan pakar bedah lutut dan menumpukan banyak masa untuk mendidik orang ramai tentang pengurusan proses penuan.

Pesakit pertama yang menjalani pembedahan robotik di HPPUM sangat berpuas hati dengan layanan yang diterima semasa 3 hari berada di ward surgeri, dan menyatakan beliau tidak merasa kesakitan selama menjalani pembedahan. Walaupun kaedah robotik baru sahaja diperkenalkan di hospital kerajaan, beliau memberikan kepercayaan penuh kepada kepakaran kakitangan hospital untuk membantu beliau menyelesaikan masalah lutut yang dialaminya sejak 3 tahun lalu. Nasihat beliau kepada penghidap penyakit lutut sepertinya untuk segera mendapatkan rawatan dan mempertimbangkan pembedahan implan tulang sekiranya masalah lutut melalui cara pengambilan ubat tidak berkesan.

Kini, pesakit yang mengalami masalah lutut boleh mendapatkan rawatan secara pembedahan robotik di HPUPM, Serdang.
