Dr. Mumraiz Salik Naqshband Performs Pakistan’s First Ever CORI Robot-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery in the Private Sector of Pakistan at Bahria International Hospital Lahore and Has Now Completed 100+ Robotic Knee Replacement Surgeries
Lahore, Pakistan — Dr. Mumraiz Salik Naqshband, Consultant Orthopedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon, has successfully performed Pakistan’s first Robot-Assisted Total Knee Replacement surgeries in the private sector of Pakistan using the CORI Robotic System at Bahria International Hospital Lahore, marking a historic milestone in the country’s orthopedic care.
The introduction of CORI robotic technology in Pakistan has been made possible through the initiative and clinical leadership of Dr. Mumraiz Salik Naqshband, bringing one of the world’s most advanced and precise robotic systems for knee arthroplasty to Pakistani patients.
CORI Robotic System Setting a Global Standard
Developed in the United States, the CORI robotic system represents the latest generation of robotic assistance in knee replacement surgery. Unlike conventional total knee arthroplasty, which relies largely on standard instruments and visual assessment, CORI enables real-time, image-free, patient-specific surgical planning and execution, enhancing accuracy and consistency.
Patient Benefits Compared to Conventional Knee Replacement
CORI robot-assisted knee replacement offers several advantages over traditional techniques, including:
- Surgery tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy
- Greater precision in bone cuts and implant positioning
- Improved limb alignment and soft-tissue balance
- Reduced injury to surrounding healthy tissues
- Less post-operative pain and blood loss
- Faster recovery and earlier mobilization
- Potentially longer implant survival with better functional outcomes
By combining advanced robotic technology with surgical expertise, CORI-assisted knee replacement provides safer, more predictable, and more reproducible outcomes for patients.
This achievement represents a significant advancement in Pakistan’s orthopedic services and underscores the growing availability of international-standard, state-of-the-art joint replacement care within the country.
