Bengaluru: Dr. Banarji BH, a Senior Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon and Specialist Shoulder Surgeon at Sakra World Hospital in Bengaluru, has secured a patent for a groundbreaking invention titled 'Device and Apparatus for Arthroscopic Carpal Tunnel Release.' This patented device represents a major leap forward in orthopedic surgery, providing a revolutionary approach to treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). By enabling arthroscopic procedures through a small incision and specialized equipment, it offers patients a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. This innovation aims to enhance patient outcomes by reducing post-operative discomfort, accelerating recovery, and minimizing treatment costs, ultimately improving the quality of life for individuals affected by CTS. The device functions by insertion beneath the constricted ligament, facilitating the insertion of an arthroscope or thin camera for visualization. Surgeons utilize a specialized tool to release the ligament, effectively decompressing the median nerve without resulting in a painful scar on the hand and palm. This technique is applicable to various individuals, including athletes, working professionals, and young adults.

In a landmark achievement, doctors at the Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai announced the successful Total Knee Replacement (TKR) procedure on a 72-year-old American man, weighing a remarkable 193 kg. This groundbreaking surgery marks a significant milestone as the heaviest patient ever to undergo such a procedure globally. TKR stands as a transformative intervention for individuals grappling with excruciating knee pain, offering them renewed mobility and an improved quality of life. However, for overweight individuals, accessing this treatment presents formidable challenges due to heightened surgical risks and technical intricacies.
According to the surgical team, led by Dr. Rajesh Nawalkar, Senior Consultant in Orthopaedics, every patient's unique circumstances demand a tailored approach to surgery. By meticulously customizing their techniques and collaborating closely with fellow medical professionals, they successfully navigated the complexities posed by the patient's weight, culminating in a triumphant outcome. Among the foremost hurdles encountered in TKR for overweight patients are the elevated risks associated with anesthesia and the heightened potential for embolism. This underscores the importance of precision and vigilance in addressing the specific needs of each patient to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.
Furthermore, the conventional use of a tourniquet, a standard protocol in TKR surgeries, presents technical challenges due to the patient's larger thigh circumference, heightening the risk of tissue damage and post-operative complications. In response to these challenges, Dr. Nawalkar collaborated closely with instrument manufacturers to devise specialized instruments tailored to accommodate the patient's unique anatomy, thereby ensuring optimal surgical outcomes. Additionally, meticulous preoperative assessments and consultations were conducted to ascertain the patient's readiness and obtain informed consent.
Richard Koszarek, the patient, underwent the surgery on January 7, 2024, with no reported complications during the procedure. However, the path to recovery was equally crucial, with rehabilitation playing a pivotal role in achieving successful outcomes. Despite facing reluctance from numerous doctors in India and abroad due to his weight, Richard expressed gratitude to the surgical team for their unwavering commitment and skillful intervention, which enabled him to regain mobility and resume an active lifestyle.
