Bahria International Hospital Lahore has achieved a major milestone in Pakistan’s orthopedic healthcare with the successful introduction of the CORI Robotic System for total knee replacement surgery.
Dr. Mumraiz Salik Naqshband, Consultant Orthopedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon, has performed Pakistan’s first-ever CORI robot-assisted total knee replacement surgeries in the private sector, marking a historic advancement in precision joint replacement care.
This groundbreaking initiative was made possible through Dr. Mumraiz’s clinical leadership and commitment to bringing world-class medical technology to Pakistani patients.
On the day of the launch, three successful knee replacement surgeries were performed using the CORI robotic system, demonstrating the hospital’s surgical expertise, technological readiness, and dedication to excellence in patient care.
About the CORI Robotic System
Developed in the United States, the CORI Robotic System represents the latest generation of robotic assistance for knee replacement surgery. Unlike conventional techniques that rely mainly on standard instruments and visual estimation, CORI enables:
- Real-time, image-free surgical planning
- Patient-specific precision
- Enhanced accuracy and consistency
This advanced technology allows surgeons to tailor each procedure to the patient’s unique anatomy, resulting in more predictable and reproducible outcomes.
Key Benefits for Patients
Compared to conventional knee replacement surgery, CORI robot-assisted procedures offer:
- Personalized surgery based on individual anatomy
- Greater precision in bone cuts and implant placement
- Improved limb alignment and soft tissue balance
- Reduced damage to surrounding healthy tissue
- Less post-operative pain and blood loss
- Faster recovery and earlier mobilization
- Potentially longer implant lifespan with better functional outcomes
By combining cutting-edge robotic technology with expert surgical care, CORI-assisted knee replacement provides safer, more accurate, and more reliable results for patients.
Advancing Orthopedic Care in Pakistan
This achievement reflects a significant step forward in Pakistan’s orthopedic services and highlights Bahria International Hospital Lahore’s commitment to providing international-standard, state-of-the-art healthcare.
With the introduction of CORI robotic technology, patients in Pakistan now have access to one of the world’s most advanced knee replacement solutions.
