Dr. J V Srinivas, Lead Senior Consultant – Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement, said, “This technology uniquely benefits revision surgery by enabling the surgeon to take the minimum bone cuts necessary to fit the new implant, preserving vital bone stock that is often already compromised in such cases. Conventional surgery typically requires a fixed amount of bone removal, which may not be ideal for complex revision scenarios. The precision and customization afforded by the CORI system mark a significant advancement in orthopedic care, translating into better alignment, improved joint function, and potentially longer implant longevity.”

For surgeons, the use of robotics provides a significant advantage through real-time 3D imaging, allowing detailed surgical planning and precise intraoperative guidance. This technology helps ensure accurate bone cuts and optimal implant positioning, which are critical factors in reducing risks such as misalignment and instability. For patients, this translates to a more natural knee movement, less postoperative pain, and a faster, smoother recovery experience, ultimately improving their overall outcome and quality of life.

Dr. J V Srinivas further added, “Robotic-assisted revision knee replacement is a game changer in managing complex cases where preserving bone and achieving precise implant positioning are critical. This technology not only improves surgical outcomes but also offers patients a better quality of life post-surgery.”

PUNE: Manipal Hospital, Kharadi welcomes the legendary Indian cricket team captain, fitness enthusiast, and recipient of Padma Bhushan Shri Kapil Dev, today to introduce cutting-edge robotic technology for advanced orthopedic surgeries. This technology aims to improve knee replacement and joint treatment with robotic-assisted surgeries in Pune and nearby cities.

Over the last five years, there has been a significant increase in the number of joint replacement surgeries in India. Surgeons across the country have witnessed more than 2.5 lakh patients undergo knee replacement surgeries every year, and the number has increased manifold in recent years. In a few years, Manipal Hospital Kharadi has observed an increase in knee replacement surgeries. With newer and more advanced technology in India, people with total knee replacement can start to walk as early as six hours after the surgery. The evolution in orthopedic treatment and the introduction of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgeries have minimized the risks associated with knee replacement. Robotic-assisted surgeries are advanced medical procedures performed using robotic devices guided by a surgeon. These procedures help surgeons perform complex surgeries with precision instruments and advanced systems, less bleeding reduced recovery time.

Unveiling the advanced robotic technology, veteran Indian cricketer Kapil Dev said, “I would like to congratulate Manipal Hospital Kharadi for introducing the new and advanced robotic technology for joint replacement. In cricket, we constantly strive to improve our equipment and techniques for better performance. Similarly, the advancement in healthcare, one of which is robotic-assisted surgery, has improved the treatment options for people suffering from orthopedic problems. As a sportsman, I understand the impact of joint injuries and the importance of faster recovery and this new robotic technology at Manipal Hospital is a game-changer in orthopedic treatment options available in the city. It offers faster recovery, less pain, and a quicker return to an active lifestyle.”

Emphasizing the need for robotic surgery, Dr. Sinukumar Bhaskaran, Adult Joint Replacement & Reconstruction and Robotic Arthroplasty (Hip & Knee), Manipal Hospital, Kharadi, Pune said, “Our focus is on improving patient outcomes, and this robotic technology is a step towards offering quality orthopedic treatment. Robotic-assisted surgery is not only beneficial for the doctors performing complex surgeries but also for the patient by offering faster recoveries and reduced pain improving the quality-of-life post-surgery. The new system allows personalized 3D CT scans, delivering sub-millimeter accuracy and enhanced safety with real-time bone movement monitoring for more precise implant surgery and reduced risk of infection. With a success rate of 98%, this meticulous precision results in longer-lasting joint replacements, reducing the need for costly and invasive revision surgeries. Using this technology and our unique clinical pathways, our hospital can offer patients fast-track knee surgery where the patients can go home within 24 hours.

Speaking at the event Parmeswar Das, Director, of Manipal Hospital, Kharadi said, “Clinical Excellence and patient centricity is at the heart of all we do at Manipal Hospital, Kharadi. We are committed to providing our patients with access to the latest advancements in healthcare technology. The addition of this advanced robotic technology has ushered in a new era of orthopedic surgery that places a premium on accuracy, safety, and better patient results. This innovative technology allows us to offer our patients a minimally invasive procedure with the potential for faster recovery times, improved precision, and ultimately, a better quality of life.”

As a leader in patient-centric care, Manipal Hospital, Kharadi constantly thrives to offer patients access to the latest advancements in healthcare technology and the addition of this advanced robotic technology is yet another step towards it. With its ultra-modern, Hi-tech robotic equipment and facilities, along with an experienced medical team, the hospital will continue to ensure patient satisfaction and provide the best possible care.

The CUVIS Joint Robotic system has been installed at Deccan Hardikar multi-specialty hospital in Pune. The system offers advanced 3D visualization and an intuitive control system, allowing Pristyn Care surgeons to achieve unprecedented accuracy and control. As a result, the system enables greater surgical outcomes, ensuring the best implant position with improved longevity, durability, and minimal human errors. Moreover, it also helps the patient’s faster recovery and early discharge from the hospital.

According to WHO, nearly 18 percent of women and 9.6 percent of men over 60 years suffer from Osteoarthritis worldwide. In India, Osteoarthritis is the second most common rheumatologic problem and affects more than 180 million people in India. With the prevalence of arthritis in India increasing at a higher pace, a breakthrough introduction of the CUVIS robotic system for knee replacement by Pristyn Care will ensure that surgical procedure is performed with a new degree of precision, enhancing patient outcomes.

Commenting on the announcement, Dr. Vaibhav Kapooor, Co-founder at Pristyn Care, said, “Joint pain due to rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis causes knee pain that affects people of all age groups. Many of our patients have complained of joint pain for years before deciding on surgery. In a highly complex procedure such as total knee replacement, the CUVIS robot helps surgeons perform the surgery without the scope of manual or miscalculated error and help patients get the best outcomes. Pristyn Care is poised to continue leading the efforts in the most advanced surgeries and setting new standards of excellence and innovation in healthcare.”

Dr. Saurabh V Giri, MBBS, MS, Orthopedic Surgeon at Pristyn Care, said, “Robotic-assisted technology has revolutionized the field of orthopedics. With over 50K arthroplasty surgeries happening in Maharashtra every year, CUVIS comes as a game changer for surgeons. It creates a 3-D image of the patient’s knee, enabling implant placement with high accuracy. It also provides real-time feedback ensuring each implant is placed correctly. Many studies indicate that patients undergoing robotic-assisted vs traditional knee replacement experience lesser pain and a faster recovery. “

In addition, India is the preferred country for medical value travelers as the country possesses the expertise to diagnose and treat a full range of diseases. Moreover, in most cases, the treatments offered are cost-effective. For example, in India, robotic-assisted knee surgery is available at a fraction of what the exact procedures could cost in Western countries. Therefore, Pristyn Care, with its advanced robotic surgery techniques, eyes the potential to tap into medical tourism, which is expected to grow to 13 billion dollars by 2026.
