Nicosia General Hospital in Cyprus has launched robot-assisted joint replacement surgery through the public health system, featuring the newly installed Cori surgical system by Smith+Nephew. This advanced technology is set to improve precision in knee replacements, revision procedures, and hip arthroplasties, allowing patients to receive specialised care locally without needing treatment overseas.

The Cori robotic platform enhances surgical accuracy through sensors and real-time digital planning, enabling personalised surgical plans tailored to each patient’s anatomy. It operates without preoperative scans, reducing radiation exposure and preparation time. Surgeons maintain full control while benefiting from this advanced support tool to optimise outcomes.

This upgrade represents a significant step for Nicosia General Hospital’s orthopaedic clinic, promoting improved implant placement, better joint alignment, fewer repeat surgeries, and faster recovery. The health system emphasises this milestone as part of its dedication to modernising healthcare and providing high-quality, safe treatment for all patients within the public system.
