Hyderabad, 21st May 2025 : In a major leap forward for orthopaedic care, STAR Hospitals, Nanakramguda, has unveiled
the New-Gen Robotic Surgery System for joint replacement surgeries - a
cutting-edge innovation designed to bring greater precision, faster recovery
with lesser pain to patients suffering from chronic knee joint problems.
The Rising Burden of Joint Pain in
Hyderabad
Hyderabad, like many urban hubs in India,
is witnessing a sharp rise in joint-related disorders. Studies suggest that 1
in 5 people over the age of 50 in Telangana suffers from knee osteoarthritis —
a painful, often debilitating condition that severely impacts quality of life.
With the city’s aging population, sedentary work culture, and increasing
obesity rates, joint replacements, especially knee surgeries, have become one
of the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures in the region.
STAR Hospitals: Redefining Joint Care
with Precision and Compassion
With a legacy of trust, clinical
excellence, and innovation, STAR Hospitals has been a beacon of hope for
thousands suffering from joint issues. The hospital’s joint replacement team
has consistently delivered outstanding outcomes through a patient-first
approach, blending time-tested surgical expertise with the latest in medical
technology.
Now, with the launch of its New-Gen Robotic
Surgery System, STAR Hospitals is taking joint care to the next level.
Dr. Shashikanth, Senior Orthopaedic Surgeon at STAR
Hospitals, Nanakamguda shared,
“Knee pain has increasingly become a lifestyle disease - driven by sedentary
habits, obesity, and aging. It doesn’t just affect the joint; it limits one’s
ability to move, engage, and enjoy life. This new-gen robotic system empowers
us to perform surgeries with exceptional precision and minimal trauma, leading
to faster recovery, less pain, and better long-term outcomes. It’s a
significant advancement in personalised orthopaedic care, and a meaningful step
towards helping patients reclaim their active lives. And that makes a world of
difference in how our patients at STAR Hospitals feel after surgery."
Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery is a
Game Changer
This next-generation robotic surgery system
marks a transformative shift in how joint replacements are performed — bringing
a new level of personalization, precision, and patient safety to the operating
room. Its key advantages include:
- No CT Scan Required – Eliminates
the need for pre-operative CT scans, reducing both cost and unnecessary
radiation exposure for patients.
- Real-Time Adaptability –
Continuously maps and responds to the patient’s unique bone anatomy during
the procedure, allowing for a truly customized surgical experience.
- Unmatched Precision – Assists
surgeons with accuracy, enabling flawless implant alignment and optimal
joint balance.
- Minimal Tissue Disruption – Its
precision reduces soft tissue trauma, leading to significantly less
post-operative pain, reduced complications, and faster rehabilitation.
- Walk Within 24 Hours – Most
patients are encouraged to begin walking within 24 hours post-surgery,
accelerating recovery timelines and restoring mobility sooner.
- Backed by Proven Implant Systems –
Integrates seamlessly with globally trusted and time-tested knee implant
systems, ensuring not only surgical accuracy but also long-term
durability, joint stability, and superior patient satisfaction.
- Future-Ready Platform – The
system’s software is designed for scalability and is capable of being
upgraded to support hip and other joint replacement procedures in the
future, making it a long-term investment in comprehensive orthopaedic
care.
During the launch event, a detailed demonstration
of the robotic surgery offered a compelling look at its precision in motion. It
gave attendees a first-hand view of its cutting-edge capabilities. The
simulation highlighted how the robot assists the surgeon with extraordinary
precision, adjusting in real time to the patient’s anatomy to ensure optimal
implant alignment. This level of consistency and accuracy is often challenging
to achieve through conventional surgical methods, underscoring the system’s
value in elevating joint replacement outcomes.
Dr.
Praveen Mereddy, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at STAR
Hospitals, Nanakramguda elaborated on how the robotic surgery functions.
He mentioned, “The beauty of this
technology lies in its adaptability and accuracy. During the demonstration, he explained
how the system creates a virtual 3D model in real time - allowing the robot to
assist in aligning and placing the implant with precision. This ensures better
joint balance and long-term results for patients, while reducing pain and
complications post-surgery.”
What truly distinguishes STAR Hospitals is not just its adoption of
cutting-edge technology, but the unmatched calibre of its orthopaedic team.
Backed by decades of surgical experience, the expert surgeons at STAR bring a
rare blend of clinical precision and compassionate care to every procedure.
Their deep clinical acumen, combined with a meticulous approach to surgical
precision, ensures that each patient receives care that is tailored, safe, and
remarkably effective. This seamless integration of expertise and empathy is
what enables STAR to consistently deliver outstanding outcomes in joint
replacement surgery.
Dr. Veda Prakash, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at STAR Hospitals,
Nanakramguda highlighted the deeper patient impact.
He said, “Technology is only as good as
the care it helps deliver. At STAR, our focus has always been patient-first.
This robotic system strengthens our ability to offer advanced care with a human
touch - where safety, comfort, and long-term outcomes are all thoughtfully
