WHAT IS ERAS?

Why Does It Matter for Patiala Patients?


ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) is a globally proven, evidence-based clinical pathway that dramatically reduces hospital stay and recovery time.

At NHS Ortho Robotics, every knee and hip replacement follows our aggressive ERAS protocol — combining optimised anaesthesia, minimal blood loss, immediate physiotherapy, and early mobilisation. The results speak for themselves.

Standard Clinical Protocol Advantages
  • Restores mobility in a fraction of traditional recovery timelines

  • Minimizes surgical swelling and tissue trauma

  • Safe discharge to return home to Patiala quickly

CONDITIONS TREATED

Knee & Joint Conditions We Treat for Patiala Patients


Robotic knee and hip replacement is our flagship — but the journey often starts with a diagnosis. Whether you are in early-stage arthritis or have been suffering for years, we offer the right treatment for every stage.

Knee Osteoarthritis

The most common cause of knee pain in adults over 50. Cartilage wears away, causing bone-on-bone friction, pain, and stiffness. Treated from lifestyle advice through to robotic total knee replacement depending on severity.

Hip Osteoarthritis

Groin pain, limping, and difficulty with stairs or getting in/out of a car. When conservative treatment fails, robotic hip replacement restores full, pain-free movement walk next day.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

An autoimmune condition causing joint inflammation, swelling, and progressive damage. Managed in coordination with rheumatology. When joints are severely damaged, robotic replacement offers lasting relief.

Ligament Injuries (ACL/PCL)

ACL and PCL tears from sports or trauma causing instability, swelling, and inability to bear weight. Surgical and non-surgical options assessed for every patient based on age, activity level, and injury severity.

Partial Knee Replacement

When arthritis affects only one compartment of the knee, a partial replacement preserves healthy bone and delivers faster recovery. CORI robotic precision for optimal outcomes.

Revision Joint Replacement

Previous knee or hip replacement that has failed, loosened, or become infected. Dr. Aggarwal's MCh (UK) training and 25,000+ case experience makes him one of Punjab's foremost revision specialists.

Joint Stiffness & Reduced Mobility

Stiffness after sitting, difficulty straightening the knee, or reduced range of motion — often early arthritis. Assessed and treated with physiotherapy, injections, or surgery when appropriate.

Knee Injections & Non-Surgical Care

Steroid, hyaluronic acid (gel), and PRP injections for pain relief at appropriate stages of arthritis. Honest advice: injections are a bridge, not a cure. We tell you when surgery will serve you better.

Pre & Post-Surgery Physiotherapy

ERAS protocol includes structured pre-operative optimisation and aggressive post-operative physiotherapy — the reason our patients walk in 3 hours and go home in 2 days. Physio begins on the day of surgery.

Not Every Knee or Hip Problem Needs Surgery

Dr. Aggarwal will assess your condition honestly and recommend the most appropriate treatment — whether that is physiotherapy, injections, or surgery. Many Patiala patients who WhatsApp their X-rays are relieved to hear they don't need an operation yet. Send yours today for a free, pressure-free opinion.

"We came from Patiala after researching widely. No one local could match Dr. Aggarwal's UK qualification and CORI robotic system. My mother walked 3 hours after her knee surgery. Home the next day. Incredible."

ABOUT PATIALA DISTRICT PATIENTS

Why Patiala's 1.9 Million Residents Deserve Better Joint Care


Patiala district has a population of nearly 1.9 million people across 895 villages and 12 towns — a large, active agricultural and industrial community with significant orthopaedic needs that local facilities cannot fully meet.

Patiala - Royal Heritage, Modern Needs

Founded in 1763 as the capital of the princely Patiala State, the city blends its royal Rajput-Mughal-Punjabi heritage with a growing modern population. Home to Punjabi University and a thriving industrial base, Patiala\'s residents increasingly seek world-class healthcare without travelling to Delhi. NHS Ortho Robotics in Jalandhar fills exactly that gap — 90km north, with UK-trained robotic surgery unavailable in Patiala itself.

Agricultural Community & Joint Health

Patiala district\'s predominantly agricultural population — wheat, cotton, maize, and gram farming across 895 villages places enormous physical demand on knees and hips over a lifetime. Decades of heavy farm labour mean many Patiala patients present with advanced osteoarthritis at a younger age than urban populations. ERAS robotic surgery is particularly well-suited to this community: faster recovery means less time away from farm and family.

Getting Here from Patiala
Patiala to NHS Ortho Robotics, Jalandhar is approximately 90km — a comfortable 90-minute drive via NH-44. No airport is required. Family members can accompany you, and with our 2-day discharge protocol, the total stay away from Patiala is minimal. WhatsApp your X-rays first — many patients are advised on non-surgical options before ever making the trip.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions from Patiala Patients


Is there a robotic knee or hip replacement surgeon near Patiala?

There is no CORI robotic joint replacement centre in Patiala. NHS Ortho Robotics in Jalandhar — 90km away — is your closest world-class option. Dr. Shubhang Aggarwal is the only MCh (UK) robotic surgeon in this region. ERAS protocol means walk in 3 hours, home in 2 days — far faster than any local option.

Is it really true that patients walk within 3 hours of knee replacement?

Yes - this is our routine clinical outcome, not an exception. Our ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol, combined with CORI robotic precision, minimises trauma to surrounding tissue. Physiotherapy begins within hours of surgery. Most knee patients take their first assisted steps within 3 hours of leaving the operating theatre. This is our standard - verified by our patients every day.

How soon can I return to Patiala after surgery?

Single knee or hip replacement patients are typically discharged on Day 2. Bilateral (both knees) patients on Day 3. You\'ll travel home to Patiala comfortably by car, walking with confidence and a structured recovery plan. All subsequent follow-ups are managed via WhatsApp - no repeated travel needed.

What is the difference between CORI and Mako robotic systems for hip replacement?

Both are advanced robotic systems offering superior accuracy over traditional surgery. CORI (Smith+Nephew) uses image-free bone mapping - no pre-op CT scan needed. Mako (Stryker) uses a pre-op CT scan for 3D planning and is particularly precise for cup positioning in hip replacement. Dr. Aggarwal uses CORI for most cases and has access to Mako for cases where CT-based planning adds value. He will advise which system is best for your specific anatomy during consultation.

Do I really need surgery, or are there alternatives?

This is the first question Dr. Aggarwal will honestly answer and sometimes the answer is no, not yet. Many patients from Patiala who WhatsApp their X-rays are advised on non-surgical management first. Surgery is recommended only when it will genuinely improve your quality of life and non-surgical options have been properly tried. There is absolutely no pressure to proceed.

What is the cost, and are packages available?

We offer transparent, all-inclusive surgery packages with no hidden charges - covering surgery, implant, anaesthesia, hospital stay, and physiotherapy. EMI options are available. The cost is significantly lower than equivalent Delhi or Chandigarh centres for the same or superior quality of robotic surgery. Contact us on +91 98142 09405 for a detailed quote specific to your case.

Walk Again. Sooner Than You Think.
