What Is Robotic Knee Surgery?

In Robotic Total Knee Replacement procedure, a robot is used to take required surgical bone cuts as against conventional manual procedure.

The procedure does not imply that the robot does the whole surgery. Rather, the surgeon utilizes a robotic surgical arm to perform the process, helping in areas that require precision and guiding in small areas.

With this technologically advanced procedure, one can surely expect the best post-surgical outcomes with robot i.e. CUVIS Joint as against manual way of surgeries.

Is robotic surgery really better than conventional manual knee replacement surgery?

When compared to conventional manual knee replacement surgeries, robotic knee replacement has got a lot of advantages in terms of better implant positioning, precise surgical bone cuts, least human intervention, faster recovery and least hospital stay.

It has proved to give better outcomes compared to conventional knee replacement techniques. Considering it’s minimally invasive nature, it causes lesser tissue trauma and thus less blood loss and faster recovery.

How is it better?

CUVIS Joint Robot System results in less trauma caused to bones and tissues. The Cuvis system uses 3Ps, namely Personalized Pre-planning, Pre-selection and Precise Cutting. Way before the actual surgery, a CT scan of patient’s knee creates a 3D model on which the surgeon can plan the entire surgery, including incisions and knee implant. Smart pre-selection allows the surgeon to select the right implant and decides its alignment. All this data is calibrated into the robot and during the surgery CUVIS robotic arm cuts the damaged bone area with unmatched precision. The unique 3P formula significantly eliminates the risk barriers and result in better outcome.
