A leading hospital in Hyderabad has achieved a major milestone in medical technology. Stryker, a global medical device company, has named Sunshine Bone & Joint Institute as India’s first Centre of Excellence for robotic joint replacement surgery.
The institute belongs to the KIMS Group of Hospitals. This recognition highlights their advanced work in robot-assisted bone surgeries and training other doctors in these techniques.
Dr AV Gurava Reddy leads KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals as Managing Director. He expressed pride in receiving this honor, calling it a significant achievement for both Hyderabad and the Telugu states. The award recognizes their expertise in robotic knee and hip replacement procedures.
The hospital has performed more than 10,000 robotic joint surgeries to date. Aman Rishi, Vice President of Stryker India, praised this impressive surgical record along with the institute’s research work in the field.
KIMS Group Chairman Dr B Bhaskar Rao emphasized their mission to bring cutting-edge medical technology to patients at reasonable costs. The group focuses on making advanced healthcare treatments accessible to more people.
Cost remains a key advantage for patients choosing Sunshine for robotic surgery. Dr Gurava Reddy revealed that robotic joint replacement procedures cost under Rs 4 lakh at their facility. This price is less than half what patients typically pay in major metropolitan cities.
The institute maintains international quality standards while keeping treatments affordable. This approach allows more patients to benefit from advanced robotic surgical techniques without traveling to expensive medical centers in other cities.
