Max Hospital, Mohali Strengthens its Robotic Surgical Program, Introduces CORI Surgical Robotic System for Joint Surgeries

Chandigarh, July 12, 2024: Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali today announced expansion of its Robotic Surgical Program with the introduction of CORI Surgical Robot for Joint Replacement surgeries.

This state of the art robotic system for joint replacement helps surgeons in achieving more precision & accuracy and preserving more natural bone, minimal blood loss and ensuring a well-balanced joint. With the launch of the CORI Surgical Robot, Max Hospital, Mohali becomes the tricity's first hospital to offer robotic hip replacement surgeries as well.

Commenting on the launch, (Prof) Ramesh Sen, Principal Director & Head of Orthopedics & Joint Replacement at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali and a former professor at PGIsaid, “This new robotic navigation technology allows patients to benefit from combination of human insight and experience of senior clinicians backed by robust technology. The newly launched robotic system for joint replacement allows surgeon to pre-plan the surgery by assessing the individual patient’s disease state and predicting the joint stability over the full range of motion.  This ensures precision and reduces the chances of malalignment of implants”.

The advantages of robotic joint surgery over conventional joint replacement procedures are numerous. These benefits include fewer incisions, accuracy, better results, quicker relief, quicker convalescence, and shorter recovery times.

With this advanced technology, the surgeons can perform minimally invasive surgeries by using instruments that they can guide via a console. The surgeons operate through a few incisions by utilizing a high-resolution 3D vision system, which allows the surgeons to view anatomical structures in natural colors.The technology has been successful in the treatment of patients who are diagnosed with several complex joints condition.

It provides natural hand-eye positioning coordination in addition to the built-in microphone, which facilitates efficient communication in the operation theatre. The highest level of precision is achieved in complex surgeries because it allows surgeons to avoid damage to nerves and organs, informed Dr Sen.
