CORI Robot in Robot-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgeries
The CORI robot, developed by Smith & Nephew, is used by Liv Duna Medical Center and Budapest Musculoskeletal Private Clinic. It is an AI-supported surgical system that provides outstanding assistance in orthopedic surgeries, especially for hip and knee replacements.
The unique operation of the CORI robot allows surgeons to track every detail of the prosthesis placement in real-time during the surgery. The robot creates a digital map of the patient's anatomy that the surgeon can check at any moment during the procedure. This system enables the surgeon to determine the location and direction of the surgery with utmost precision.
Using its precision tools, the robot prepares the bone surfaces much more accurately than traditional methods. It removes only as much bone as necessary for the perfect placement of the prosthesis, similar to a reversed 3D printing process.
The technology supports the surgeon’s work by making the surgery as precise and safe as possible, rather than replacing the surgeon.
The CORI system continues to improve through its AI, learning from previous surgeries to refine its techniques. This continuous enhancement makes the system more efficient and accurate, increasing surgical success rates and reducing complications.
CORI Robot Navigation Technology for Hip Replacement Surgeries
The most unique feature of the CORI robot in hip replacements is its navigational precision and personalized planning. The navigation system allows surgeons to perform the surgery with digital support in real-time, leading to more accurate implant placement. This not only enhances the long-term success of the prosthesis but also significantly reduces the need for revision surgeries.
The CORI robot does not require preoperative CT or MRI scans, yet it accurately reconstructs the patient's hip's biomechanical parameters during the surgery.
Its advantages include minimally invasive surgical exposure enabled by the robot’s precise navigation.
Main Advantages of Orthopedic Robotic Surgery:
- Lower risk of hip dislocation
- Reduced need for revision surgeries
- Shorter recovery time
