Robotic technologies are changing medical procedures for safer and better treatment results. Indian orthopedic surgeons have now, for a decade, been using advanced robotic technology for knee replacement surgery. Robotic-assisted knee replacements further improve patient results and satisfaction as compared to normal knee replacement surgery.

Robotic surgery involves the use of a robotic surgical arm controlled by a trained surgeon rather than a real robot performing the procedure. Doctors use a robotic surgical arm to assist them during the surgery. The robotic hands perform some crucial parts of the procedure and can reach any delicate and small part of the body. The use of robotic technology in knee replacement surgery enhances the precision of the surgery by providing accurate alignment based on each patient's anatomy. Robotic surgical arms act as precise measurement tools for surgeons that help them provide accurate data and assistance throughout the surgery.

A robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery provides better alignment of the joint as well as better balance in the soft tissues that surround the knee. The robotic arm can make 3D images of the surgical area, knee joint, bone structure, and surrounding tissues and perform certain tasks, such as:

·        It can prepare the bone for the surgery.

·        The arm can introduce the implant during the procedure.

·        It can help in balancing the implants.

·        It checks for the right fit of the implant.

Robot assisted knee replacement surgery is a powerful tool for orthopedic doctors, as it adds several benefits to the procedure, such as:

·        The doctor can make cuts with precision to the millimetre with the robot's assistance.

·        Robotic hands accurately select and position the appropriate implant size during surgery with precision.

·        Robotic technologies enhance surgical precision through improved planning, precise tissue removal, and accurate implant placement.

·        Robotic technologies give a more natural looking joint replacement and create less friction and wear on the new joint.

Knee replacement surgery helps to reduce the pain and discomfort associated with knee arthritis and other knee-related diseases. Robotic knee replacement surgery has become popular. It provides a precise surgical technique and a quick recovery time. The robotic knee replacement surgery cost in India ranges from $5,000–$8,000. The final cost of knee replacement surgery depends on the hospital chosen, the surgeon's fees and experience, the type of surgery, the implant, the diagnosis, and the conditions of the patient. Robotic-assisted surgery provides several advantages, such as less disruption of bone and tissue, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery time.
