Excellence in healthcare at Casa di Cura Santa Rita in Atripalda: a 44-year-old receives a minimally invasive bilateral total hip replacement in a single surgery
At Santa Rita (NefroCenter Group), two minimally invasive hip prostheses were implanted in a single session in a 44-year-old patient.
Casa di Cura Santa Rita in Atripalda, a flagship facility of the NefroCenter Group, is positioned at the top of national orthopedic surgery thanks to a highly specialized operation that opens new frontiers in the treatment of joint conditions.
The clinic’s medical team successfully performed a bilateral total hip replacement on a 44-year-old patient suffering from severe osteoarthritic degeneration in both joints.
What makes the operation exceptional is the clinical decision to resolve both joint problems in a single surgical session, a procedure considered uncommon and complex in the facilities of Central-Southern Italy. The operation was carried out by Drs. Ugo Camilleri and Emilio Lalla, who adopted a surgical approach aimed at the greatest possible anatomical preservation.
Thanks to meticulous preoperative preparation and the use of minimally invasive prosthetic implants that spare the femoral neck, the surgery was extremely respectful of the patient’s tissues. This technique, combined with execution under spinal epidural anesthesia, ensured absolute safety and eliminated the need for blood transfusions. The results of the “fast-track” protocol were immediate: just 24 hours after leaving the operating room, the patient was already able to walk and move independently, with a record discharge after only 48 hours.
The success of this operation is not an isolated case, but the direct result of the investments the NefroCenter Group is channeling toward the new frontiers of medicine, such as the High-Complexity Orthopedic Center. Casa di Cura Santa Rita is today the heart of a highly specialized orthopedic project in which technology serves the person: from digital modeling to the choice of latest-generation prosthetic materials, every phase of the care pathway is designed to minimize trauma and maximize quality of life after surgery.
The integration of the surgeons’ experience with cutting-edge technologies makes it possible to tackle complex cases with very short hospital stays, ensuring significant savings for the National Health Service and, above all, an immediate return to normal life for the patient.
With this further milestone, the NefroCenter Group confirms itself as a leader in the field of joint replacement surgery, offering a national reference center for high-complexity orthopedics.
