Robotic Knee Replacement in Udaipur — Dr. Ashish Singhal

Dr. Ashish Singhal is an orthopedic and robotic joint replacement surgeon at Paras Health, Udaipur, with more than 1,600 robotic knee replacement surgeries across a 20+ year career. Robotic knee replacement uses a 3D plan of your knee and a robotic system [CUVIS Joint] to make precise bone cuts and position the implant accurately. The surgeon stays in control at every step. Patients travel from Udaipur, Chittorgarh, Bhilwara and across South Rajasthan for treatment

What is robotic knee replacement?

It's a knee replacement in which a robotic system helps the surgeon remove damaged bone and cartilage and fit the artificial joint. Before surgery, a 3D model of your knee is created. During the operation, the robot guides the cuts to match that plan, protecting the ligaments and soft tissue around the knee. The implant itself is the same type used in conventional surgery. What changes is how precisely it is placed.

Who needs a knee replacement?

Your doctor may suggest knee replacement if you have:

Severe knee pain from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis that limits walking or climbing stairs
Pain at night or at rest
A bowed or knock-kneed deformity that is getting worse
No lasting relief after 3–6 months of medicines, physiotherapy or injections
An X-ray showing advanced joint damage

Knee replacement is not only for the elderly. Dr. Singhal has operated on patients from their 40s to age 90. Read the stories of a 44-year-old patient and a 90-year-old patient who could sit cross-legged a month after surgery.

Robotic vs conventional knee replacement

Feature	Robotic knee replacement	Conventional knee replacement
Planning	3D plan of your knee before surgery	Based on X-rays and surgeon's judgment
Bone cuts	Robot-guided to match the plan	Manual cutting guides
Soft tissue	Less disturbance to ligaments	More soft-tissue release may be needed
Implant	Same implant types	Same implant types
Best for	Most arthritis patients, including deformities	Also effective; a suitable choice in some cases

Both are proven operations. Dr. Singhal performs both and will recommend what suits your knee, age and health.

What happens during surgery

Consultation and tests: examination, X-rays, blood tests and a fitness check.
3D planning: a model of your knee is used to plan implant size and position.
Surgery: usually takes [1–2 hours] under spinal anesthesia.
Early walking: most patients stand and walk with support [within 24 hours].
Discharge: typically after [3–5 days].

Recovery time

Time after surgery	What to expect
Day 1	Standing and walking with a walker
1–2 weeks	Walking around the house, climbing stairs with support
3–6 weeks	Most daily activities, walking without support
6–12 weeks	Return to driving, travel and most routines
3–6 months	Full recovery and strength

Physiotherapy is part of every recovery plan.

How much does robotic knee replacement cost?

Cost depends on whether one or both knees are replaced, the implant chosen, hospital room category and insurance coverage. See the full knee replacement cost guide for India, or call for an estimate for your case.

Frequently asked questions

Is robotic knee replacement safe?
Yes. Knee replacement is one of the most common and successful operations in orthopedics, and robotic assistance adds precision. Like any surgery it carries some risks, which Dr. Singhal discusses at your consultation. Watch him bust common myths about knee replacement safety.

Does the robot do the surgery?
No. The surgeon performs the operation. The robot helps carry out the plan accurately, which is explained in Dr. Singhal's "hook step" in knee surgery.

How long does a knee implant last?
Modern implants commonly last [15–20 years or more — confirm], and accurate positioning helps them last longer.

Can both knees be replaced at the same time?
Often, yes. Bilateral knee replacement is common when both knees are badly affected and your health allows it.

Am I too old for knee replacement?
Age alone is rarely the barrier; overall health matters more. Dr. Singhal has successfully treated patients aged 90.

Is it covered by insurance?
Most health insurance policies cover knee replacement. The hospital team can help check your coverage.
