The future of spinal care is here. Experience sub-millimeter precision with AI-guided robotic planning for spinal implant placement.
Yashoda Hospital, Malakpet • Advanced Robotic Spine Center
Expert neurosurgical care available at multiple convenient locations across Hyderabad.
The robotic arm holds instruments steady along the path planned for each implant.
Screw paths are planned on imaging beforehand, taking nearby nerves and vessels into account.
Sophisticated software analyzes your anatomy to create a detailed surgical plan.
Minimally invasive incisions with less tissue handling. Recovery is individual.
| Feature | Traditional Open Surgery | Robotic Spine Surgery |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy | Fluoroscopy or navigation, depending on the case | Robotic guidance when the plan uses a robotic platform |
| Radiation Exposure | Intra-operative X-rays as needed | Depends on the imaging workflow used |
| Incision Size | Large (To visualize anatomy) | Small (Keyhole access) |
| Muscle Damage | Significant (Muscles stripped from bone) | Minimal (Muscles dilated gently) |
| Recovery Time | Individual; discussed after examination | Individual; discussed after examination |
*Technique comparison only. Recovery is individual.
A pre-op CT scan is used to create a 3D blueprint of your spine.
The robotic arm is calibrated to your spine anatomy using AI algorithms.
The surgeon guides the robotic arm to place implants with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Intra-operative imaging checks implant position before you leave the OT.
When you get out of bed and go home is decided by the team for each patient.
While many simple spine conditions can be treated with standard endoscopic techniques, robotic assistance is mainly used in complex cases.
Credentials discussed in clinic: MBBS and DNB Neurosurgery. Germany-related training is a German observership in full endoscopic spine surgery (2024).
Clinical assessment
Examination and imaging
Suitability for this procedure is decided after history, neurological examination, and review of your MRI or CT — not from a published percentage.
Counselling
Risks and alternatives
If a procedure is considered, the visit covers expected recovery, alternatives including non-surgical care, and questions to ask before consent.
Next step
Book an OPD visit
Request a consultation to discuss your scans. Discharge timing and recovery are individual and are discussed after examination.

Robotic spine surgery involves using a robotic arm to assist the surgeon in placing spinal implants (like screws) with extreme precision. The robot does not perform the surgery on its own; it acts as a high-tech guide, enhancing the surgeon’s accuracy and control.
No technique removes surgical risk. Robotic guidance is used to place screws along a trajectory planned on imaging before surgery. Whether it suits your case, and the risks that apply to you, are discussed after examination and imaging.
No. Dr. Sayuj Krishnan is in full control at all times. The robot is a tool that provides a rigid, precise trajectory for instruments, preventing human tremor or fatigue-related errors during critical steps.
It is ideal for patients requiring spinal fusion, scoliosis correction, tumor surgery, or revision spine surgery. It is especially beneficial for complex anatomies where freehand surgery might be risky.
