Johor, Malaysia – Gleneagles Hospital Johor continues to redefine orthopaedic care with the introduction of Robotic Total Knee Replacement (TKR) enhanced by the ERAS® (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) Protocol, marking another significant milestone in delivering advanced, patient-centred healthcare.
The combination of robotic-assisted technology and the internationally recognised ERAS® Protocol represents a new standard in knee replacement surgery, enabling greater surgical precision, enhanced recovery, and, for eligible patients, the possibility of returning home on the same day of surgery.
This achievement also reinforces Gleneagles Hospital Johor's distinction as Malaysia's First ERAS® Certified Hospital for Total Knee Replacement, reflecting its commitment to adopting evidence-based practices that improve patient outcomes and recovery experiences.
A New Standard in Knee Replacement Surgery
The implementation of the ERAS® Protocol at Gleneagles Hospital Johor has been spearheaded by Dr. Shahridan Bin Mohd Fathil, whose leadership has been instrumental in establishing evidence-based perioperative pathways that enhance patient recovery, improve clinical outcomes, and support earlier mobilisation following surgery. This integrated approach is designed to support:
- Greater surgical precision
