Apollomedics Hospitals Completes 500 Robotic Knee Surgeries, Unveils MISSO Robot

Apollomedics Hospitals achieved a new medical milestone today. The facility successfully completed 500 robotic knee replacement surgeries. Hospital management celebrated this record with a special program named "Ruk Jana Nahin". Over 400 treated patients attended the gathering.

During the event, the hospital launched a brand new MISSO Robot. Apollomedics is now the first private hospital in the region to operate two dedicated robots for knee replacements. The facility houses three surgical robots in total. The new MISSO system uses artificial intelligence and gives real-time surgical assistance. This technology allows doctors to perform precise adjustments based on individual knee conditions.

Dr Sanjai Srivastava led these 500 surgeries as the Chairman of Orthopaedics at Apollomedics. Addressing the gathering, he broke down exactly how robotic support makes a real difference for patients. The system offers sub-millimetre precision for implant placement. Doctors plan the surgery beforehand using 3D imaging and CT-based bone mapping. Patients lose less blood. They experience less pain and leave the hospital sooner. Implants also sit in an optimal position and last longer.

"With advanced technology coming in, people prefer robotic knee replacements over conventional methods. It is not just the urban population. Patients from Tier 3 and Tier 4 towns, and even rural areas, are specifically asking for this. When we started four years ago, only one out of five people wanted a robotic procedure. Today, every second person walking into my OPD enquires about it and chooses only robotic surgery," said Dr Srivastava.

"Our mission has always been to bring world-class technology to the doorstep of the people of Uttar Pradesh," said Dr Mayank Somani, MD and CEO of Apollomedics. "Crossing the 500-surgery mark under the exceptional leadership of Dr Sanjai Srivastava is a proud moment for our team. Adding a second MISSO robot brings our total to three, reaffirming our commitment to providing the most advanced and precise care in India. Events like 'Ruk Jana Nahin' remind us exactly why we do this: to see our patients walk, dance, and live without limits."

The "Ruk Jana Nahin" programme highlighted patient recovery and mobility. One patient performed a live Kathak dance on stage. Chronic knee pain had previously forced her to stop her classical dance practice. Other patients talked about their daily routines. They shared stories about climbing stairs and walking in parks without pain. A group of post-surgery patients also walked a ramp. They demonstrated their renewed freedom of movement to the audience.
