- Chandan Hospital becomes first in UP to offer globally acclaimed Mako robotic surgery
- Over 6 lakh surgeries worldwide — now available for every patient in Lucknow
TIL Desk Lucknow:
In a proud first for Lucknow, Chandan Hospital has introduced the world’s most advanced Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology for joint replacement surgery—marking a major leap forward in orthopedic care. With this, Chandan becomes the first hospital in Lucknow and the state to offer this revolutionary, US FDA-approved technology.
“This is not just innovation—it’s transformation,” said Dr. Naveen Srivastava, Joint Medical Director & Head of Orthopedics. “Mako allows us to perform surgeries with incredible precision, resulting in faster recovery, reduced pain, and greater confidence in outcomes.”
The Mako system creates a personalized 3D model of each patient’s joint before surgery, helping surgeons plan every detail. During surgery, it’s not just about steady hands—it’s about knowing exactly where to stop. That’s where Mako’s AccuStop™ feedback comes in. It doesn’t take over; it simply helps the surgeon stay in control while gently avoiding any unnecessary damage to nearby bone or soft tissue.
Doctors use Mako to assist with Total Hip Replacement (THR), Total Knee Replacement (TKR), and Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (UKR)—each one carefully planned to fit the person’s unique bone structure. This advanced system does NOT use traditional navigation systems (like GPS-based or optical tracking), instead relying on patient-specific planning with intra-operative customization, including robotic cutting guides.
It’s already been used in more than 6 lakh surgeries across the world. Close to 1,500 hospitals trust it every day. That kind of consistency doesn’t just happen—it’s earned. And now, that same level of care is finally here in Lucknow.
And here’s the part that really matters: it’s not reserved for a few. It’s built to be accessible.
“This isn’t a luxury—it’s healthcare at its finest, made available to all,” Dr. Srivastava emphasized. “The cost of robotic joint replacement is covered under most insurance policies and we’re also connecting it with government health schemes to ensure no one is left behind.”
From cutting-edge technology to compassionate affordability, Chandan Hospital is reshaping what’s possible in orthopedic surgery—right here in Lucknow.
