Sarvodaya Hospital launches joint replacement robot in Greater Noida

Sarvodaya Hospital, located in Gaur City 2, Greater Noida West, has introduced a fully active robotic system for joint replacement surgeries. This system, known as the Joint Replacement Robot (RJR), is designed to improve precision in surgical procedures and reduce patient recovery time. It is part of the hospital’s ongoing efforts to integrate new technologies into clinical care.

According to Sarvodaya Hospital, the robotic system uses AI-driven, real-time 3D planning and execution. This enables sub-millimetre accuracy in implant placement and supports CT-based preoperative planning tailored to individual patient anatomy. The system also uses a minimally invasive surgical technique, which helps reduce blood loss, lowers the intensity of postoperative pain, and shortens recovery periods.

Dr Anchit Uppal, Senior Consultant and Head – Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement at Sarvodaya Hospital, Greater Noida, said, “In India, the demand for joint replacement surgeries has risen sharply—recent studies indicate a 20–25 per cent annual increase, largely due to an ageing population and the growing prevalence of osteoarthritis and lifestyle-related orthopaedic issues. Traditional surgeries can be time-consuming and often require longer hospital stays, which can impact patients’ mental health and overall recovery. Minimally invasive robotic procedures, on the other hand, reduce surgical trauma, minimise pain and blood loss, and enable a much quicker return to daily activities. The RJR Robot enables us to deliver world-class joint replacement procedures that are not only safer and faster but also tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and needs.”

Dr Ankur Singh, Senior Consultant and Head – Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement, added, “The integration of advanced robotic technology in joint replacement marks a significant advancement in orthopaedic surgery. This system provides surgeons with enhanced control, accuracy, and reproducibility throughout the procedure, allowing for optimal implant positioning and alignment. Such precision not only reduces intraoperative variability but also minimises tissue trauma, postoperative pain, and recovery time. Ultimately, this enables us to deliver highly individualised, evidence-based care that significantly improves functional outcomes and overall quality of life for our patients.”

Dr Rakesh Gupta, Chairman, Sarvodaya Healthcare, commented on the development, stating, “We at Sarvodaya have always believed in harnessing innovation for better patient outcomes. We introduced North India’s first fully active joint replacement robot at our multispeciality Sarvodaya Hospital in Sector 8, Faridabad. Now, the introduction of the advanced RJR Robot at our Noida unit reflects our endeavour to deliver global standards of care locally and be at the forefront of medical technology. This advancement will bring independence, dignity, and trust in our patients.”
