Every surgeon is different. His education, techniques, training, results are different. Dr. Harprit did his first replacement in Aug. 1997 in 2.5 hours. Over the years and some 54500 operations later the time involved decreased and now its done in 10-12 min on an average. Short surgery has its own benefits as there is no blood loss, exposure of tissues to air is less, hence less infection chances, lesser anesthesia time and lesser drugs and an early recovery.

He has successfully operated on a patient unable to walk because of knee arthritis and having a bad heart (of LVEF 25% working capacity). The patient placed her life in the hands of this young surgeon and consented to get knee replacement. The anaesthetist allowed only 15min of procedure. Dr. Harprit finished the job to perfection well within the time limit ie 9min 30sec the lady was smiling in his OPD chamber a year later to get the second side operated- which he gladly accepted. Though speed is never a criteria in surgery but its always beneficial in a medically compromised patient for the surgical time to be as close to the starting time as possible.

In 10-12 minute, the anaesthetized body & heart doesn't even comprehend the trauma of surgery and by the time the heart recognizes the onslaught, the patient is stitched up and wheeled into the ICU thereby decreasing the risk. And also, the bleeding is minimal in 10 minutes as compared to a 1 hour surgery (which is a normal time of most surgeons). Similarly, in a cardiac compromised case, for a knee replacement Dr. Harprit takes somewhere near 10-12 minutes and for both sides knee replacement he takes somewhere 15-20 minutes only, for hip replacement he takes 15 minutes and for plating he takes somewhere near 4-5 minutes and for a partial hip replacement he takes a less as 4 minutes. He has also introduced the concept of painless knee replacement where in the patient does not require any painkillers after knee replacement.(post-op knee pain is managed by nerve blocks) As the hospital deals in poly trauma and multifracture accident cases, a lady with both hips, both thigh and both legs fractured, in all 21 fractures in the body was treated with nailing and fixation and was on her heels in 15 days.
