Kauvery Sets a Benchmark in Ethical Healthcare: Leveraging Robotic Technology Only for Medically Necessary Joint Replacements

Kauvery Hospital, Bangalore, a leader in advanced healthcare technology and patient-centric care, has become the first hospital in India to achieve the remarkable milestone of completing the fastest 500 robotic surgeries across specialties with a 100% success rate. Now, building on this success, Kauvery Hospital is proud to introduce the Mako Robotic Joint Replacement System at its Electronic City branch that is emerging as a hub for robotic surgeries, further elevating its commitment to provide cutting-edge, patient-centered care.

Kauvery Hospital has always prioritised patient well-being, ensuring that technology serves the patient’s best interests. A shining example of this patient-first approach is the hospital’s robotic joint replacement program at the Marathahalli unit. Out of 1,200 consultations for joint problems since the inception of this program, only 50 patients underwent surgery. This reflects the hospital’s ethical practice of recommending joint replacement surgery only when clinically necessary, tailored to individual needs.

With its advanced technology, the Mako system enhances the accuracy of joint replacements, providing patients with faster recovery times, improved joint alignment, and the ability to take their first steps toward recovery on the same day as the surgery.

Dr. Vijaybaskaran S, Executive Director of Kauvery Hospitals, Bangalore Region, said, “Our approach to healthcare is guided by our commitment to patient well-being above all else. The success of our robotic surgical programs and the launch of the Mako Robotic System in Electronic City underscores our dedication to offering ethically recommended treatments and delivering personalised, clinically proven care for each patient.”

The Mako Robotic Joint Replacement System allows Kauvery Hospital’s surgeons to offer highly personalised treatments, minimising trauma and significantly reducing post-operative pain. With improved precision, patients benefit from better joint alignment, faster recovery, and better long-term outcomes. In many cases, patients are able to take their first steps toward recovery on the same day of surgery.

At the forefront of this initiative is Dr. Jagadeesh P.C, a seasoned orthopaedic surgeon with over 25 years of experience and a legacy of more than 8,000 knee surgeries and 2,500 shoulder surgeries. Speaking at the launch, Dr. Jagadeesh P.C, Senior Consultant: Orthopaedic Trauma and Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon at Kauvery Hospital, Electronic City, said, “Robotic-assisted surgeries are a game-changer in orthopaedic care. With the Mako system, we can provide solutions that are not just highly accurate but also customised to each patient’s needs. It’s about restoring mobility and improving quality of life, not just replacing joints.”

Alongside robotic joint replacement, Kauvery Hospital’s orthopaedic program includes joint preservation techniques and restorative therapies, offering a comprehensive and holistic approach to treating joint pain and improving mobility.

“The Mako Robotic Joint Replacement System is a game-changer in orthopaedic care,” added Dr. Jagadeesh P.C. “With its unparalleled precision, it allows us to offer highly personalised treatments, minimise trauma, and significantly reduce post-operative pain. Patients benefit from faster recovery times, improved joint alignment for lasting outcomes, and the incredible advantage of ZERO DAY MOBILIZATION – enabling them to take their first steps toward recovery on the very day of surgery.”

The launch of the Mako Robotic Joint Replacement System in Electronic City is another example of Kauvery Hospital’s mission to transform lives. With advanced technology and patient-centered care, Kauvery continues to provide unparalleled solutions for those struggling with joint pain and immobility, giving them a renewed hope of pain-free life and regained independence.
