The exact additional cost varies between hospitals and robotic platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some systems require a pre-operative CT scan, which adds an additional appointment and a small amount of radiation exposure. Other robotic systems do not require CT imaging, so this disadvantage does not apply to every robotic procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robotic surgery can also require additional operating-room preparation and may take longer during certain stages. Systems that use bone-mounted tracking pins introduce a small additional risk of pin-site complications, and technical problems with the equipment can occasionally require the operation to continue using conventional instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Atul Mishra does not recommend robotic technology simply because it is available. At ASIC Clinic, the choice between robotic-assisted, computer-navigated, and conventional joint replacement is based on the patient\u2019s anatomy, joint condition, medical profile, and surgical requirements. Greater technical precision is useful, but it does not guarantee a superior result for every patient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One disadvantage of robotic joint replacement is that the technology can increase the cost of surgery because specialised equipment, software, imaging, and trained surgical teams may be required.
