 Breaking News: Believers Church Medical College Hospital Launches the Revolutionary CORI Robotic Surgical System



Believers Church Medical College Hospital is proud to announce the inauguration of the CORI Surgical System, a groundbreaking innovation in knee replacement surgeries. The hospital becomes the first in Central Travancore to introduce this cutting-edge technology, setting a new standard in orthopaedic care.

What is the CORI Robotic Knee Replacement System?

The CORI Surgical System, developed by Smith & Nephew, represents the latest advancement in robotic-assisted knee replacement technology. Unlike conventional methods, CORI employs a handheld robotic system to perform total and partial knee replacements with unparalleled precision. The system integrates advanced surgical techniques and robotics to offer customized treatment for each patient, leading to better outcomes and faster recovery times.

CORI’s innovative design offers surgeons real-time insights and allows them to make precise adjustments during surgery. It ensures optimal implant positioning and alignment, which are crucial for the long-term success of knee replacements. With the CORI system, surgeons can perform minimally invasive surgeries, reducing the risk of complications and speeding up recovery times.

A First in Central Travancore

In a milestone achievement, Believers Church Medical College Hospital becomes the first hospital in Central Travancore to offer robotic-assisted knee replacement surgeries using the CORI Surgical System. This makes the hospital a pioneer in bringing world-class orthopaedic care to the region, elevating healthcare standards and providing patients access to the most advanced surgical options available.

A Celebration of Medical Excellence

The introduction of the CORI system marks a significant achievement for the hospital’s Orthopaedics Department, led by some of the most renowned specialists in the field. Dr. Nithin Thomas Philip, Dr. Vinoo Mathew Cherian, Dr. Sam Chittaranjan, and Team Orthopedics have been instrumental in bringing this world-class technology to Believers Church Medical College Hospital.

Their dedication and commitment to patient care are driving forces behind this success. The team’s expertise, combined with the cutting-edge capabilities of the CORI system, promises to improve patient outcomes significantly. This new technology will allow the team to personalize each knee replacement procedure according to the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and specific needs.

Advantages of CORI Robotic-Assisted Surgery

  1. Enhanced Precision: The handheld robotic system offers real-time feedback, enabling surgeons to make minute adjustments during surgery. This ensures accurate implant placement and better alignment.

  2. Less Invasive: Robotic-assisted surgery requires smaller incisions, leading to less tissue damage, minimal blood loss, and reduced postoperative pain.

  3. Faster Recovery: Patients undergoing CORI-assisted surgeries typically experience faster recovery times, allowing them to return to their daily activities sooner.

  4. Improved Implant Longevity: By ensuring precise alignment and placement, the CORI system helps extend the lifespan of the knee implants, reducing the need for revision surgeries in the future.

  5. Customization: The system allows for highly individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific condition and needs, leading to better functional outcomes.

Conclusion

With the launch of the CORI Surgical System, Believers Church Medical College Hospital has once again proven its commitment to providing the best healthcare services to the community. This state-of-the-art technology, combined with the expertise of the hospital’s orthopaedic team, will ensure that patients receive the highest standard of care for knee replacement surgeries.

This is an exciting time for both the hospital and the patients in Central Travancore. Congratulations to Dr. Nithin Thomas Philip, Dr. Vinoo Mathew Cherian, Dr. Sam Chittaranjan, and the entire Orthopaedics Department for their relentless efforts in bringing world-class orthopaedic care to the region.

The CORI Surgical System is an advanced, handheld robotics-assisted platform developed by Smith+Nephew, primarily designed for total and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. This system enhances the precision and efficiency of knee surgeries, making it particularly suitable for outpatient procedures and ambulatory surgical centers.

Key Features of the CORI Surgical System:

  1. Robotics-Assisted Technology: The system utilizes handheld robotics to assist surgeons in planning and executing surgeries tailored to the patient's unique anatomy. This approach is noted for its accuracy compared to traditional methods, allowing for better outcomes in knee replacement surgeries 1, 3.

  2. 3D Digital Modeling: At the start of the procedure, the CORI system creates a customized 3D digital model of the patient's knee. This model helps in precise implant positioning and alignment, which is crucial for the success of the surgery 2, 4.

  3. Real-Time Planning and Gap Balancing: The system features real-time planning capabilities and intra-operative gap balancing, which allows surgeons to assess the knee's range of motion and make necessary adjustments during the procedure 6.

  4. Image-Agnostic Smart Mapping: One of the innovative aspects of the CORI system is its ability to create 3D models without the need for pre-operative imaging like CT or MRI scans. This feature simplifies the surgical process and reduces the time required for planning 7.

  5. Portability and Efficiency: The CORI Surgical System is designed to be portable with a small footprint in the operating room, making it easier to integrate into various surgical environments 8.

Conclusion

The CORI Surgical System represents a significant advancement in orthopedic surgery, particularly for knee replacements. Its combination of robotics, real-time data processing, and personalized surgical planning enhances the overall surgical experience for both patients and surgeons.
