Speaking at the launch, Ms. Zahabiya Khorakiwala, Managing Director, Wockhardt Hospitals, said, “At Wockhardt, our goal has always been to deliver world-class healthcare that blends innovation with compassion. Bringing robotic knee replacement surgery to Nagpur ensures patients across Central India receive precise, minimally invasive treatment close to home.”
The launch event was led by Ms. Khorakiwala, along with Dr. Parag Rindani, Group CEO, Wockhardt Hospitals, and Mr. Ravi Bagali, Centre Head, Wockhardt Hospitals, Nagpur. The program was unveiled in the presence of prominent robotic orthopaedic specialists including Dr. Romil Rathi, Dr. Mukund Agrawal, Dr. Laghavendu Shekhar, Dr. Ashish Thakur, Dr. Swapnil Gadge, Dr. Shantanu Deshmukh and Dr. Ambar Dawre.
Transforming Knee Replacement Through Technology
The MISSO Robotic System enhances surgical accuracy using advanced 3D visualisation and real-time intraoperative feedback. Surgeons can now create personalised surgical plans tailored precisely to each patient’s anatomy — ensuring optimal bone cuts, ligament balancing, and implant positioning.
Key benefits of MISSO robotic knee replacement include:
• Greater precision and improved implant alignment
• Minimal tissue damage and reduced blood loss
• Less postoperative pain and quicker rehabilitation
• Shorter hospitalisation and early return to routine
• Longer implant lifespan and improved mobility
Commenting on the advancement, Dr. Parag Rindani said, “Robotics represents the future of orthopaedic surgery. This technology not only enhances precision but also transforms patient recovery. It reaffirms our commitment to excellence and our mission to bring global healthcare standards to every region we serve.”
A Complete, Patient-Focused Program
The program at Wockhardt Hospitals, Nagpur offers a fully integrated pre- and post-surgery pathway for optimal outcomes. Patients undergo detailed assessments, imaging, and robotic planning before surgery. After the procedure, structured rehabilitation ensures early mobilisation, pain management, and customised physiotherapy — helping patients regain strength, balance, and walking ability faster.
Highlighting the impact on the region, Mr. Ravi Bagali said, “The MISSO Robotic System is a proud moment for Nagpur and Vidarbha. Patients no longer need to travel to metros for advanced knee care — world-class robotic surgery is now available right here with superior results and quicker recovery.”
