Karnataka Launches Robotic Surgery System in Bengaluru

The Government of Karnataka has launched a new robotic surgery system at the Sanjay Gandhi Institute of Trauma and Orthopaedics in Bengaluru.

This is the first time a government hospital in Karnataka has introduced robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery.

The system, costing approximately Rs 3 crore, aims to enhance precision in orthopaedic procedures, reduce surgical trauma, and improve patient recovery.

The inauguration was attended by key officials, including the Minister for Medical Education and Skill Development.

The technology is expected to benefit patients suffering from chronic knee problems by offering greater precision, improved outcomes, and faster recovery.

The government plans to introduce similar systems in other major government hospitals across the state.
