Unique hospital introduces advanced misso robotic system for precise joint replacement surgery

Indore, April 09, 2026: Unique Hospital has introduced the advanced MISSO robotic system for orthopedic joint replacement. This AI-based technology, which started on January 1 this year, has already made knee replacement surgeries more precise and effective in 20 patients so far, with all patients showing improved outcomes.

Dr. Krishnakant Neema, Robotic Joint Replacement Specialist at Unique Hospital, said that MISSO robotic technology is improving surgical results and making treatment easier for patients. Surgeries performed using this robotic system achieve very high accuracy, resulting in minimal bone cutting and less damage to surrounding tissues. This leads to faster recovery for patients. He also mentioned that the technology reduces pain and significantly lowers the risk of complications.

The MISSO robotic system helps surgeons with pre-operative planning, real-time feedback, and precise joint placement. With the use of this advanced technology, patients undergoing partial or total knee replacement surgery experience less pain and recover faster.

Dr. Pramod P. Neema, Director and Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon at Unique Hospital, said, “As the population around us continues to grow, age-related diseases—especially those affecting joint health and mobility—are also increasing. One of the most common causes of joint damage is osteoarthritis, which often leads to the need for joint replacement surgery. Around 10% of our country’s population are senior citizens, which creates a large burden of such surgeries. However, the number of joint replacement surgeries performed each year is still quite low compared to the population. To support and improve this entire process, we need robotic assistance.”

Robotic systems assist joint replacement surgeons in real time, allowing precise adjustments and accurate implant placement during surgery. This advanced system creates a personalized surgical plan based on 3D CT scans, taking into account the patient’s body structure. As a result, post-surgery complications such as implant loosening or early wear are significantly reduced. From the patient’s perspective, the biggest benefit is faster recovery due to smaller incisions and less blood loss, with hospital stays limited to just 3–4 days.

To meet the growing need and the increasing use of robotic systems in surgeries worldwide, an Indian multinational company, Meril, launched its own advanced orthopedic robot, the MISSO robotic system, in June last year. This technology is designed to assist surgeons in joint replacement procedures by providing personalized pre-operative planning and executing precise bone cuts, ensuring consistent and improved surgical outcomes.
