Healthcity vistaar | 02 September 2025
On 6th September 2025, Health City Vistaar will install the Smith+Nephew CORI Robotic Surgical System, one of the most advanced platforms in the world for knee and hip replacement surgery.
This milestone makes Health City Vistaar the first and only hospital in Lucknow to introduce robotic-assisted joint replacement, ushering in a new era of innovation, precision, and compassionate patient care.
Lucknow: Tradition Meets Progress
Known as the “City of Nawabs,” Lucknow is admired for its heritage and hospitality. In recent years, it has also emerged as a modern healthcare hub. Patients from nearby districts and states increasingly look to the city not just for culture or education, but also for advanced medical solutions.
The arrival of CORI adds another proud chapter to this growth. It reflects Lucknow’s ability to blend tradition with technology, heritage with healthcare progress.
For patients and families, this means cutting-edge care—once available only in Delhi, Mumbai, or overseas—will now be accessible locally, right in the heart of Lucknow.
What Makes the CORI System Revolutionary
Developed by Smith+Nephew, CORI is a next-generation surgical platform designed for orthopedic excellence.
Unlike older methods, CORI does not require pre-operative CT or MRI scans. Instead, it builds a real-time 3D digital map of the patient’s joint inside the operating room, ensuring surgery tailored precisely to each individual.
Key Features
- Personalized Surgery – Fully customized surgical plans for every patient.
- Robotic Precision – A handheld tool ensures safe, exact bone preparation.
- Live Tracking – High-resolution cameras provide continuous feedback.
- Smart Implant Placement – Components are aligned for natural joint function.
The result: smarter, safer, and more efficient joint replacements that bring hope to patients with arthritis, chronic knee pain, or hip disorders.
How Patients Will Benefit
With CORI, patients can expect a smoother, faster, and more reassuring surgical journey:
Before Surgery – Digital planning, personalized evaluation, and clear communication.
During Surgery – Robotic guidance ensures unmatched precision and safety.
After Surgery – Less pain, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and longer-lasting implants.
This is not just surgery—it’s the chance to regain independence and enjoy years of active, pain-free living.
A Team of Profound Orthopedic Specialists
Technology alone does not define success. The true strength of Health City Vistaar lies in its team of highly experienced orthopedic surgeons, whose expertise ensures that CORI will be used to its fullest potential. Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, Co-Founder, Chairman & MD, MS (Orthopedics), DNB, and Dr. Sandeep Garg, Co-Founder and Director, MBBS, Masters in Orthopedic Surgery, each with 40 years of experience, are renowned for their expertise in joint replacement, arthroplasty, and advanced procedures for the knee, hip, and shoulder. Supporting this leadership, other orthopedic experts at Health City Vistaar specialize in joint replacement, sports injuries, arthroscopy, and minimally invasive orthopedic procedures.
Collectively, the team brings over a century of combined experience to the operating room, and with the addition of CORI, their skills will be further enhanced, ensuring that patients receive not only advanced technology but also the wisdom of deeply experienced surgeons.
Why This Day Matters
The installation scheduled for 6th September 2025 is more than a technical upgrade—it’s a promise fulfilled for patients in Lucknow and beyond.
Until now, many had to travel to metros like Delhi or Mumbai for robotic-assisted surgeries, adding costs and stress. From this moment onward, world-class orthopedic care will be available locally, close to home.
Health City Vistaar: Innovation with Compassion
At Health City Vistaar, technology and compassion go hand in hand. The CORI installation is not just about a machine—it’s about giving patients hope, confidence, and better outcomes.
From pre-surgery counseling to rehabilitation, every step of care will now be strengthened by robotic precision and patient-centered commitment.
Exclusive in Lucknow
Health City Vistaar will remain the only hospital in Lucknow and nearby regions to offer the CORI system. This exclusivity makes it the destination for advanced orthopedic care and reinforces Lucknow’s growing reputation as a healthcare hub.
