In a major advancement for orthopaedic healthcare in India, Healing Hospital Chandigarh has crossed a significant milestone by successfully completing more than 6,000 AI-based RoboLens FT-3D Knee Resurfacing procedures while simultaneously launching its next-generation Robotic FT-3D Knee Resurfacing Programme powered by advanced fully automatic robotic technology.
Speaking about the milestone at a press conference here, Drishmeet Singh Buttar, Managing Partner, said, “The future of surgery lies in intelligent precision technologies powered by Artificial Intelligence, robotics, and advanced analytics. Our vision has always been to provide patients access to advanced healthcare technologies that improve outcomes and strengthen patient trust.”
According to Buttar, as healthcare globally moves towards precision-led, minimally invasive, and patient-centric treatment methods, technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, and augmented reality are increasingly transforming surgical procedures.
In reply to a question, Buttar said that Healing Hospital’s RoboLens FT-3D Knee Resurfacing platform combines AI-driven surgical planning with Microsoft HoloLens-powered augmented reality visualization, enabling surgeons to study patient anatomy in immersive real-time 3D during procedures.
According to specialists at the hospital, the RoboLens FT-3D system focuses on precision mapping, intelligent joint balancing, accurate implant positioning, and minimally invasive execution. These advancements aim to reduce tissue trauma, minimize blood loss, enable faster mobilization, and support smoother patient rehabilitation.
Sharing insights on orthopaedic innovation, Ajay S Bhambri, Director – Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement and part of the FT-3D Team, said that knee procedures worldwide are increasingly evolving through AI-driven planning, robotic execution, and augmented visualization systems that support greater surgical precision and faster recovery.
Highlighting the importance of personalized treatment planning, Dr Nishant Setia, Senior Consultant, stated that every patient’s anatomy, mobility needs, and joint condition are unique, making individualized surgical planning essential. He noted that integrating AI, FT-3D precision mapping, and robotic analytics enables highly customized treatment approaches aimed at improving long-term mobility and quality of life.
Adding perspective on patient safety and recovery, Dr. Harsimran Kaur Buttar, Senior Anaesthetist, emphasized that advanced knee procedures today extend beyond surgery itself and focus equally on safer recovery pathways, reduced surgical stress, early mobilization, and enhanced rehabilitation experiences for patients.
