Jakarta, INTI – Siloam Hospitals Mampang, South Jakarta, has introduced a breakthrough in orthopedic surgery with the use of the Total Knee Replacement (TKR) robot. This innovation simplifies the process of replacing damaged knee joints caused by osteoarthritis or injury while improving precision and patient comfort. With robotic technology, surgical procedures become minimally invasive, complications are reduced, and patient recovery is faster.
Advantages of Robotic Knee Surgery
According to Prof. Dr. dr. Ismail Hadisoebroto Dilogo, SpOT, SubspPL(K), using robotics in TKR allows surgeons to cut bones and place implants accurately according to each patient’s anatomy. “This accelerates recovery, reduces post-operative pain, and extends the lifespan of the knee implant,” he explained.
The TKR robot operates with real-time navigation technology, acting as an “assistant” to ensure all procedures meet the highest standards. Nevertheless, clinical decisions remain in the hands of the surgeon, so the combination of human expertise and advanced machinery produces optimal surgical outcomes.
Minimally Invasive Procedure and Faster Recovery
One of the main benefits of this technology is smaller incisions, which reduce the risk of bleeding and infection. Patients can even start movement exercises on the same day after surgery, compared to conventional methods that usually require 1–2 days. Additionally, the operation duration is more efficient, and post-operative pain tends to be lighter due to minimal tissue trauma.
Addressing Patients’ Concerns
Many patients postpone knee surgery due to fear of pain, long recovery, or suboptimal results. Robotic TKR provides a safer and more precise solution, allowing patients to undergo surgery with confidence. Dr. Mohammad Triadi Wijaya, Sp.OT (K), added that this technology also enables procedures for patients with severe knee conditions.
Siloam Hospitals’ Step Toward International Standard Care
According to Prof. Dr. dr. Andri Lubis, Sp.OT (K), Siloam Hospitals Mampang is now one of the healthcare centers adopting robotic TKR technology as part of its commitment to international-standard orthopedic care. The presence of this technology is not just an innovation but a significant leap toward more personalized, safe, and effective healthcare.
Conclusion:
The Total Knee Replacement robot at Siloam Hospitals Mampang offers knee surgery that is more precise, minimally invasive, and safer for patients, while speeding up recovery and reducing post-operative pain. This technology provides an answer for patients seeking knee surgery at international standards.
