During the launch event, Dr. Mohit Arora, Director of Joint Replacement at the hospital, highlighted that **Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a highly effective procedure for patients suffering from knee arthritis. However, post-surgical dissatisfaction remains a concern despite technological advancements.
Dr. Arora emphasized that Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) is shaping the future of knee replacement due to its unmatched precision, accuracy, and reliability.

- No bone drilling, lowering the risk of fat embolism
- Reduced revision rates and minimal complications
- Smaller incisions, less pain, and no need for blood transfusions
- Faster recovery and longer-lasting implants
