Home/Key Procedures/Robotic Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery
Orthopaedic surgeries like “Total Knee Replacement Surgeries” have come a long way since their initiation in 2020. For conditions like Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis, when treatment options like medications and the use of walking support no longer relieve symptoms, one may need to have surgery. With CUVIS Joint, the World's First Autonomous Robot for Knee Replacement Surgeries, Sakra World Hospital is again set to provide the best surgical outcomes for patients in India.
Robotic knee replacement surgery is an advanced form of knee replacement where the surgeon uses a robotic system to assist during the procedure. The robot does not perform the surgery on its own. It helps the surgeon plan the surgery accurately and place the knee implant with high precision based on the patient’s anatomy.
Robotic knee replacement allows more precise alignment and placement of the implant compared to conventional surgery. This can lead to better knee movement, less damage to surrounding tissues, reduced pain after surgery, and a quicker recovery for many patients. The surgery is still done by the surgeon, but with better control and accuracy.
Robotic knee replacement is usually recommended for patients with severe knee arthritis who have long-lasting pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking despite medications or physiotherapy. It can be suitable for people whose knee joint damage affects daily activities and quality of life.
Recovery time varies from person to person, but many patients start walking with support within a day or two after surgery. Most people can resume basic daily activities within a few weeks. Full recovery, including strength and flexibility, may take a few months with proper physiotherapy.
Yes, robotic knee replacement can be suitable for elderly patients if they are medically fit for surgery. The precision of robotic assistance may reduce tissue damage and support faster recovery, which can be beneficial for older adults. A thorough medical evaluation is always done before recommending surgery.
