Penang, Sept 17: The rise of robotic surgery is transforming the medical landscape with success rates between 94 and 100 per cent, according to Cleveland Clinic.
These advanced systems, which now account for up to 15 per cent of surgeries, are projected to push the global market to $14 billion by 2026, growing at an annual rate of nearly 11 per cent, as noted by Oliver Wyman.
At Island Hospital in Malaysia, the ROSA robotic system is enhancing precision in total knee replacements.
With artificial intelligence guidance, the system allows surgeons to perform procedures with remarkable accuracy, explained Dr. Lee Keat Hwa, Orthopaedic Surgeon at the hospital.
The hospital’s experience with ROSA has shown all cases using the system to be within ±3° of planned alignment, a vast improvement over conventional methods, shared Lim Kooi Ling, Chief of Staff at Island Hospital.
In addition to orthopaedics, robotic systems like the BioBot MonaLisa are making significant progress in areas such as urology, enabling better prostate cancer detection and treatment.
Robotic systems offer less invasive, more precise surgeries, resulting in shorter recovery times, less postoperative pain, and improved patient outcomes.
Island Hospital’s adoption of these technologies is part of its commitment to enhancing patient care and solidifying its position as a leading destination for medical tourists.
The hospital’s focus on innovation continues to drive its efforts toward becoming a global icon in medical tourism, with cutting-edge technologies like the daVinci Xi and Excelsus GPS Spine Robot leading the charge
