Computer Assisted Robotic Surgery
Computer Assisted / Robotic Surgery is a very advanced technique used for higher accuracy in performing surgeries. It is also known as 3D computer surgery as it takes into account all three aspects of the dimensions, i.e., length, breadth and height or the X, Y and Z axis of bone and joint geometry. It is an image-guided surgery where surgical navigation helps the doctor to operate upon the patient. Its advantages are enhanced visualization, better diagnostic abilities and more precision in surgery, giving it an edge over the traditional methods leading to accelerated and more predictable recovery.
Dr. Basu has the latest equipment to support Computer Assisted / Robotic Surgery which makes him one of the leading orthopedic surgeon in Kolkata. According to current International data, advanced navigation redirects and guides the surgeon in adjusting critical alignments like never before making replacement surgeries more accurate and durable/long lasting. Be it a bone cut or a knee replacement or balancing the soft tissues computer imaging helps with all the technicalities involved in surgery. For instance, every aspect can be taken care of while placing a metal in a joint or bone as it can be rotated and attuned accordingly.
It is also the future of minimally invasive surgery as it will open up new horizons like 3D printing, computer navigation and intraoperative advanced imaging. It enables the surgeon to develop a sense of real-time planning and execution of surgeries even before the actual surgery has started. Since it is machine operated, there is a negligible chance of human errors and defects in experienced hands. In addition, these techniques offer improved access, magnified vision, more stabilized instrument implementation and implant stability resulting in lesser blood loss,less and accurate bone cuts, decreased infection rates, small surgical scars, less wound problems and faster recovery to normal living/life.
Dr. Basu has extensive experience and training in carrying out such procedures in institutions of international repute both in India and abroad. His main motive is to deliver the finest and latest treatment advancements to his patients so that they can easily recover from orthopaedic problems and return to their normal lives again with full vigour like before.

Facilities
He has all the facilities required to deliver a full range of care for basic trauma, complex trauma and advanced trauma. Basic trauma is when the body suffers from stable and closed fractures which can be treated conveniently. Complex trauma involves compound fractures in which the bone is exposed out of the soft tissue and cuts through the blood vessel that stops the blood circulation to the end of that body part or patients of polytrauma having multiple long bone fractures with abdominal and chest injuries or osteoporotic fractures with gross communition likewise. In such cases, Dr. Basu enjoys the advantage of having Advanced trauma set-up accessible at Fortis Hospital, where he is a full-time Orthopaedic Consultant. The entire trauma team, comprising of a vascular surgeon, plastic surgeon, orthopaedic surgeon, general surgeon and other assisting medical personnel is available 24X7 at the hospital. This state of art facility is extremely necessary because only a superspeciality team of experts can act synchronously to save a patients life in that crunch situation.
