Robotic or robot-assisted surgery elevates the standards of minimally invasive surgery, offering numerous advantages for both surgeons and patients. Widely adopted in various surgical procedures, it empowers surgeons to perform both common and complex operations with enhanced safety and precision. The outcomes reflect significant benefits from both the patient’s and the surgeon’s perspectives.
Orthopaedic Procedures Utilizing Robotic Systems
Our award-winning team of experienced surgeons excels in performing life-saving surgeries, including:
- Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeries: This innovative tool has transformed how surgeons tackle the most delicate parts of the procedure, allowing for precise navigation in challenging areas that were previously difficult to access.
- Robotic Spine Surgeries: The use of a 3-D magnified view during these procedures increases precision and accuracy, particularly in treating lower spine issues like sciatica.
- Robotic Total Hip Replacement Surgeries: Utilizing a suture-less approach, this method ensures precise cuts, enabling proper placement of artificial implants without compromising body alignment, thus enhancing balance and stability.
Our team prioritizes a comprehensive pain management plan during and after surgery, aiming for optimal success rates with minimal complications.
How Does the Robotic System Function?
We utilize a Fully Active Robotic Joint Replacement system, a cutting-edge technology that pioneers precise robotic surgery. Key features of our robotic system include:
- Supervised Procedures: Surgeries are conducted under the expert guidance of a qualified surgeon.
- Enhanced Precision: The system provides superior dexterity for cutting and milling, ensuring maximum accuracy during the replacement procedure.
- Adaptive AI Technology: In-built AI allows for mid-course corrections based on real-time feedback, optimizing surgical outcomes and reducing the likelihood of repeat surgeries.
Unlike passive robotic systems, our active robot not only assists the surgeon but also delivers immediate feedback for dynamic adjustments during the procedure.
Key Features of the Robotic System
- Automated Robotic Surgical System
- 3D CT-Based Surgical Planning
- Fully Automatic Cutting with No Jigs Required
- Comprehensive Tibial Cuts and Femur Preparation
- Emergency Stop and Manual Guidance Options
- Optical Tracking System (OTS)
- Expanded Surgical Space with 6-Axis Articulation
- Patient-Robot Positioning Guidance
- Controlled Cutting Speed

Performing Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery
The Procedure: Similar to traditional joint replacement surgery, the robotic method involves removing the arthritic part of the knee and replacing it with an artificial joint to create a new knee joint surface.
Planning:
- Patients receive thorough counseling from their surgeon to make an informed decision.
- High-resolution CT scans of the targeted area are conducted to develop a 3D model of the patient’s knee.
- A detailed surgery plan is then crafted.
Execution:
- The patient is securely connected to the robot for surgery.
- The virtual 3D model serves as a guide throughout the operation.
- The surgical site is verified using the 3D model.
- The surgeon utilizes AI data from the robot to select a customized artificial joint.
- The robotic arm assists the surgeon in making precise bone cuts.
- The knee implant components are then accurately placed and aligned.
Benefits of Robotic Joint Replacement
This approach offers advantages for both surgeons and patients, including:
- No sutures, leading to less pain and a natural-looking postoperative appearance.
- Real-time monitoring to adapt to any intraoperative changes.
- Sub-millimeter accuracy, enhancing the longevity and durability of the implants.
- Significant reduction in bone, ligament, and blood loss.
- High-quality CT imaging that informs precise surgical cuts.
- A stellar surgical track record from our award-winning orthopaedic team.
- Minimized risk of infection and complications due to limited human intervention.
- Optimal implant positioning and cutting precision.
Why Surgeons Prefer Robotic Surgeries
Robotic systems represent the forefront of automated surgical technology, delivering numerous benefits, including:
- Simplicity: Enables meticulous pre-surgery planning with advanced 3D CT imaging.
- Flexibility: Allows for adjustments in planning, cutting options, and gap assessments throughout the surgical process.
- Accuracy: Ensures precise surgical planning and resection with sub-millimeter precision and accuracy.
- Safety: Monitors bone movement to prevent inappropriate motions, equipped with automated emergency stops for enhanced safety.
