‘Robotic ortho surgeries more precise'
Lucknow: Robotic surgery has proved to be a game-changer in orthopaedics, offering patients enhanced precision, quicker recovery, and fewer complications, opined experts at a programme held for the introduction of robotic-assisted joint replacement using the Mako Robotic-Arm Technology at Chandan Hospital. This technology is particularly beneficial for procedures such as total hip replacement, total knee replacement, and partial knee replacement. The US FDA-approved Mako system enables surgeons to create a 3D model of a patient's joint before surgery, allowing for meticulous preoperative planning. Unlike older navigation systems that rely on optical tracking, Mako leverages patient-specific data in real time to guide robotic instruments with high precision. "This is not just innovation—it's transformation. We're seeing faster recovery, reduced pain, and more predictable outcomes with robotic surgeries," said Dr Naveen Srivastava, joint medical director and head of orthopaedics.

Nepal PM Oli assures India its territory soil won't be used against neighbours
Kathmandu): Indian Ambassador to Nepal Naveen Srivastava briefed Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Operation Sindoor on Friday. Following the briefing, the Nepali PM assured the Indian envoy that Nepal would not be allowed to be used against any neighbouring countries. The Nepali Prime Minister's remarks come amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan at his official residence, Baluwatar. "Ambassador Srivastava also expressed gratitude for Thursday's Nepal government's statement regarding the incident," an official from Oli's secretariat told ANI. Nepal, late Thursday evening, voiced support for "all in the fight against terrorism," reacting to India's Operation Sindoor. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, issuing a press release, also called for de-escalation as a measure towards peace. "During this tragic period, Nepal and India stood in solidarity, united in shared grief and suffering. It may be recalled that Nepal had immediately and unequivocally condemned the barbaric terrorist attack, consistent with its resolute stance against all forms of terrorism," the release stated. The ministry added that, in line with its principled position, Nepal shall not allow any inimical forces to use its soil against its neighbouring countries. Nepal hoped for a de-escalation of tension and affirmed its commitment to lasting peace and stability in the region. "Prime Minister Oli told the Indian envoy that Nepal stands for global peace and, in line with its firm stance against all forms of terrorism, condemned the terrorist attack," the official confirmed ANI. India, past midnight on 7th May, carried out a precise attack inside Pakistan, neutralising locations and terrorists who had been orchestrating terror attacks on India. On April 22, terrorists had killed 26 tourists, including a Nepali national, in India's Jammu and Kashmir. The "Operation Sindoor" is in retaliation for the orchestrated terror attack by Pakistani terrorists.
