BLK-Max Hospital introduces next-generation robotic system for specialised joint surgeries

New Delhi: BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital announced the expansion of its robotic surgical programme with the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) enabled robotic system for joint replacement surgeries.

This next-generation robotic system for joint replacement works on AI and helps surgeons in achieving more precision & accuracy and preserving more natural bone, minimal blood loss and ensuring a well-balanced joint.

The introduction of robot for joint replacement at BLK-Max Hospital will allow patients to benefit from the combination of human insight and experience of senior clinicians backed by robust technology. The technology is engineered to replicate a patient's individual joint structure, relieving pain from failed replacements. The robotic device imitates the joints' regular motion patterns, so minimising any excessive stress on the muscles, nerves, tendons and sinews. Robot aids the surgeon in achieving accuracy, alignment, and balance.

Dr Bhushan Nariani, Senior Director and Head, Centre for Joint Replacement, BLK-Max Super Specialty Hospital said, “This new robotic navigation technology allows the 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.

Commenting on the launch of robot for joint replacement, Dr Mradul Kaushik, Senior Director of Operations and Planning and Chief Operating Officer, Cluster-1, Max Healthcare said, “Robot-assisted surgeries has become a key tool for healthcare professionals to perform surgeries and are now being used for almost all specialities. We are excited to expand our robotic surgery programme and introduce next-generation robot for joint replacement at BLK-Max Hospital.”
