Robotic Surgery
Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City, one of Malaysia’s leading smart hospitals, is first to be equipped with 2 robotic systems in arthroplasty (joints) surgery.
Both robotic systems are used in total knee replacement,
partial knee replacement, and total hip replacement.
Robotic technology is used to create a 3D virtual module of your bone (knee or hip) with imaging like CT scan or X-ray. It will provide details on the bony anatomy of an individual patient and enable the orthopaedic surgeon to pre-plan your surgery with a unique software. The software can assess the resection margin and virtually place the implant in the proper position to best assess joint balance, flexion, and rotation. This pre-op plan can be implemented during surgery.
During surgery, surgeons will do the bone registration, where they identify landmarks in order to align the actual bone view with the preoperative plan. There is an optical tracker to track the joint movement during surgery. The pre-op plan overlaid on the actual bone is used as a surgical guide, to provide information on where to cut and how much to cut then place the implant in a pre-defined area. Surgeon can make adjustments if necessary during the surgery.
Robotic-assisted surgery can deliver high accuracy in implant placement, minimise injury to soft tissue and ligaments of the knee and hip, and prevent unnecessary bone cuts, thereby leading to less post-operative pain. With this, patients experience shorter hospital stay, lower complication rates, and faster recovery. The high accuracy in implant positioning results in a more natural-feeling knee after surgery and the potential for better long-term satisfaction and implant durability.
To date, our 9 orthopaedic surgeons has performed thousands of robotic joint replacement surgeries. Our team is the first in the country to perform robotic hip replacement with the Mako SmartRobotics in 2021, and robotic partial knee replacement with the Rosa Knee System in 2023. We strongly believe that the revolutionisation of robotic technologies can enhance precision and thus improve patient outcomes in orthopaedic procedures.
Your health, our priority. Embracing tomorrow's surgery with robotics.
AiBLE™ is an advanced, all-in-one platform designed to enhance spine surgery by integrating technology, software, implants, and instruments. It comprises the Robotic Spine Guidance System, StealthStation™ S8, and O-arm™ Imaging System, supporting every stage of surgery—from diagnosis to postoperative care.
The StealthStation™ S8 is a navigation system that provides real-time, 3D imaging, enabling surgeons to track instruments with high precision. Its customizable software adapts to various procedures in neurosurgery, spinal surgery, and ENT, and integrates with tools like microscopes to optimize surgical workflow.
The O-arm™ Imaging System offers real-time 2D and 3D imaging with 360-degree scanning during surgery, delivering clear views of the surgical area. This helps reduce complications and minimizes the need for repeat procedures. Seamlessly integrated with the StealthStation™ and robotic systems, the O-arm™ enables faster, more accurate decision-making and is widely used in spine, orthopedic, and neurosurgical procedures.
The Robotic Spine Guidance System improves precision, especially in pedicle screw placement. It combines advanced planning, real-time navigation, and robotic arm assistance to ensure accurate screw positioning in open, minimally invasive, or percutaneous procedures. This reduces tissue damage and shortens recovery times. When paired with O-arm™ imaging, it provides accurate intraoperative guidance—ideal for complex surgeries, including spinal deformity corrections.
Additionally, AiBLE™ incorporates AI-driven algorithms to analyze patient data and develop personalized surgical plans. During surgery, it delivers real-time feedback to improve instrument placement and reduce complications. Overall, AiBLE™ enhances safety, efficiency, and patient outcomes in spine surgery.
