A robot surgeon has been launched at the Saratov Research Institute of Traumatology, Orthopedics and Neurosurgery, which performs operations with minimal incisions

On April 17, 2025, it became known that the Saratov Scientific Research Institute of Traumatology, Orthopedics and Neurosurgery (NIITON) of Saratov State Medical University introduced an innovative robot assistant Cuvis Joint for knee replacement operations. The new robotic system allows surgery with minimal incisions, which significantly reduces the period of rehabilitation of patients.

This is the first such device in the Saratov region, which opens up new prospects in high-precision operations. The robotic system is highly accurate, which minimizes the risks of surgery and provides the best results for patients.

The main feature of the robot assistant is the ability to individually plan the operation taking into account the anatomical characteristics of each patient, which makes the treatment as effective as possible. The use of a high-tech assistant also reduces the size of surgical incisions and reduces rehabilitation time, reducing the risk of postoperative complications.

NIITON Director Vladimir Ostrovsky noted that the installation of an assistant robot is an important step forward for the institute. According to him, this is not just equipment, but a tool that helps doctors better care for patients, providing them with the most modern and effective methods of treatment. Thanks to this device, the institute's specialists can not only improve the outcomes of operations, but also speed up the recovery process, returning people to the opportunity to lead an active lifestyle.

The medical staff of NIITON of Saratov State Medical University has already undergone comprehensive training in working with a robotic system and is fully ready to carry out operations using new equipment. The introduction of this technology will significantly increase the level of medical care available to residents of the region.^[1]
