Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai Introduces Robotic-Assisted Knee & Hip Replacement Surgery

According to the hospital, robotic-assisted surgeries offer benefits such as greater precision, reduced blood loss, and less disruption to soft tissue, and are expected to improve patient care standards in orthopedic treatment.

Gleneagles Hospital, Parel has introduced a new robotic-assisted surgery program for knee and hip replacements. The technology aims to improve surgical accuracy, reduce recovery times, and enhance patient outcomes.

The orthopedics team will lead the procedures, including Dr Anup Khatri, Dr Girish Bhalerao, Dr Shridhar Archik, Dr SV Vaidya, and Dr Neelkanth Dhamnaskar.

The robotic system allows surgeons to create personalized surgical plans using advanced imaging and make adjustments in real time during operations.

One of the early beneficiaries was 80-year-old Bharat Chauhan, who underwent robotic knee replacement on May 27, 2025.

“I was really scared of the surgery, but I had no choice left due to the intense pain. Now, I feel like I have a new lease on life. The day after the operation, I was pain-free. I can now walk freely and am regaining my strength every day,'' Chauhan said, after being discharged within a week.

Another patient, 40-year-old Sandhya Singh from Virar, who suffered ligament tears in both legs, also underwent the procedure. She had robotic-assisted surgery on her right leg and conventional surgery on the left.

“Before the surgery, even walking was difficult. Now, I’m regaining stability and mobility,” she said.

Commenting on the development, Dr Bipin Chevale, CEO of Gleneagles Hospital, said, “Our mission is to bring state-of-the-art healthcare to our patients. The successful robotic surgery of Mr. Chauhan is a testament to our commitment to clinical excellence and patient-first innovation. With robotics, we are not only enhancing surgical precision but also empowering patients to reclaim their quality of life faster and with greater confidence.”
