Agartala, 19th July 2025: Apollo Hospital in Chennai is offering cutting-edge, affordable treatment in the field of orthopedics, including spine and knee replacement surgeries, with many patients from Tripura and the North-East turning to the facility for advanced care.
Speaking to media personnel at a private hotel here this afternoon, senior orthopedic and spine surgeon Dr. Rakesh B. Shetty said, “Apollo Hospital has brought about a revolutionary change in spine and bone treatment. With over 20 years of experience, we now perform surgeries using the latest robotic and AI-assisted techniques, ensuring safer and more precise procedures.”
Dr. Shetty, who has earned a strong reputation in the field, noted that the hospital has successfully completed more than 15,000 robotic surgeries. “These modern methods result in less blood loss, quicker recovery, and improved long-term outcomes for patients,” he said, adding that these advancements have made complex procedures more accessible to people across the region.
Highlighting the affordability of treatment at Apollo, Dr. Shetty said, “The cost of these surgeries is just about 20 to 25 percent more than what patients might spend in Tripura. But what they get in return is state-of-the-art care, better safety, and faster recovery.”
He also announced a special facility for patients from Tripura. “If a group of 15 patients travel together, Apollo Hospital arranges free pickup from Chennai Railway Station or Airport, providing 24-hour support upon arrival,” he informed.
“With increasing trust and accessibility, Apollo Hospital remains a top choice for patients seeking world-class orthopedic and spine care,” Dr. Shetty concluded.
