Chandigarh, March 29, 2026: As many as 31 orthopedic surgeons across the region participated in a one day hands-on workshop on advanced minimally invasive techniques at Shalby Hospital, Mohali on Sunday.
The workshop focused on the cutting-edge arthroscopic and joint replacement techniques, equipping participants with practical skills to enhance patient outcomes in high-volume orthopedic practices. The workshop featured live demonstrations, cadaveric simulations, and interactive sessions led by Shalby's expert faculty.
The key topics included advanced knee and shoulder arthroscopy, robotic-assisted joint replacements, and strategies to reduce average length of stay (ALOS) by up to 20-30% through minimally invasive procedures.
Dr. Pardeep Aggarwal, chief orthopedic surgeon at Shalby said, "This hands-on training bridges the gap between theory and practice, empowering surgeons to adopt techniques that minimize recovery time and improve mobility for patients. With rising orthopedic demands in Punjab and over 15% annual increase in joint-related cases, such initiatives are vital for elevating regional healthcare standards."
Dr. Gurdarshan Singh Natt, director of orthopedics and joint replacement said that the participants reported a 40% confidence boost in complex arthroscopies via post-workshop surveys, aligning with our mission to drive innovation and reduce complication rates below the national average of 5%."
