Currently, robotic technology has been widely used in the world of health because of its superior ability to provide more precise operating results. Robotic Velys technology, introduced by the Gatam Institute Eka Hospital, is a new generation designed specifically to support orthopedic surgeons in procedures for replacing the knee joints with high accuracy. The presence of robotic technology aims to replace and repair the broken knee joints by removing damaged bone and bone parts, as well as replacing the knee joints with new implants.

Luthfi Gatam, Sp.OT(K) Spine, FICS, Ph.D, with the presence of this new technology being able to revolutionize the way surgeons perform knee replacement procedures more modernly, quickly and provide more precise, efficient, and risk-minimizing results for patients.

"With this robotic technique, we doctors get clearer guidance, including anatomical calculations to find out which points of bone or joints must be lifted and where the joints of the artificial knees must be placed. In addition, for the Gatam Institute itself, this technology further complements the ranks of advanced tools that existed before," he said on the sidelines of a press conference.

The advantages of the operation by using robotic techniques compared to conventional methods include faster recovery, shorter hospitalization times, better improvements to the patient's movement range after surgery, as well as a less sick patient experience.

With the presence of this robotic technology, patients are expected to benefit from the better operating results and faster recovery, thus demonstrating Eka Hospital Group's commitment to improving the quality of health services in Indonesia.

"This robotic technology adoption allows us not only to increase the competitiveness of domestic hospitals but also to withdraw patients who previously tended to seek treatment abroad. With this, we contribute to the government's vision to develop the domestic health sector, strengthen the local economy, and reduce trade balance deficits in the medical field," said CEO Eka Hospital, drg.
