Know Before You Decide
Robotic assistance makes an experienced doctor better.
It's the experience that counts, not just the robot.
Dr. Allahbadia has performed over 10,000 successful knee surgeries — the overwhelming majority without robotic assistance.
This is not a page selling you on a robot. It is an honest explanation so you can make the right decision for yourself.
In a traditional knee replacement, the surgeon uses hand instruments and metal alignment rods to make bone cuts and position the implant. The result depends on the surgeon's skill, experience, and feel — and when those are excellent, the outcomes are excellent.
In a robotic-assisted replacement like CORI, the surgeon performs every step — but the system builds a live 3D map of your knee during surgery and guides the cutting tool with sub-millimetre accuracy. The robot does not operate. It assists.
No — and he will tell you this plainly. Dr. Allahbadia performed over 10,000 successful knee surgeries before CORI technology was available in India. Traditional surgery, in the right hands, produces outstanding results.
His view: the robot makes a good surgeon better. It does not make a poor surgeon good. If a surgeon lacks clinical judgement, robotic assistance will not compensate for that.
Robotic precision adds the most value where small alignment errors carry big consequences — younger patients, severe deformities, revision surgeries (CORI is the only robot approved for revision TKR), and high-BMI patients.
For a standard, well-aligned knee in an older patient without unusual anatomy, the difference in outcome between expert traditional and expert robotic surgery is often small.
Yes — robotic systems carry a higher cost. Whether justified depends on your age, anatomy, and how long you need the implant to last.
Hinduja Healthcare Surgical, Khar remains significantly more economical than many comparable private hospitals in Mumbai — making both options more accessible than patients often expect.
Yes. Dr. Allahbadia offers both. The decision is always made jointly — based on your anatomy, health profile, lifestyle, and what you want from the surgery.
You will never be pressured toward one approach. His job is to give you an honest recommendation with the reasoning behind it. The final decision is yours.
Robotic surgery's precise cuts mean less soft tissue trauma — and often less post-operative pain. Most CORI patients walk the day after surgery and go home within 48 to 72 hours.
Regardless of technique, physiotherapy is non-negotiable. It is the single biggest determinant of your long-term outcome.
Yes — by a significant margin. Dr. Allahbadia performed over 10,000 successful knee surgeries before CORI was available in India. Surgical skill, clinical judgement, and experience are the primary determinants of a good result.
When choosing where to have your knee replaced, ask first: how many has this surgeon done? What is their revision rate? Those answers matter far more than whether a robot was in the room.
All information reflects general principles. Individual outcomes vary. A personal consultation is the only way to determine the right approach for your specific knee and health profile.

"Fantastic results, I would strongly recommend Dr Vivek Allahbadia for knee replacement surgery. We were extremely satisfied with the surgery and post surgery care for our mother's bilateral knee replacement. He puts the patient's anxiety to rest by his calm and collected demeanor."

"Dr. Vivek — my mother underwent Total Knee Replacement with your active participation and today, even at 75 and with a few heart-related hospitalisations, she is fit as a horse. Thumbs up to the 8th floor nursing staff."

"The best doctors are always humble and caring — and that perfectly describes Dr. Vivek Allahbadia and his amazing team. They performed a very complex distal humerus surgery on my father, who is now confidently using his hand again."
