Treatments
Precision surgery, for every joint that moves you
- Robotic Knee ReplacementA knee rebuilt around your anatomy, guided by a 3D surgical plan.
- Robotic Hip ReplacementPrecise implant positioning for a stable, natural-feeling hip.
- Robotic Unicondylar Knee ReplacementPartial knee replacement of one worn compartment, with the rest of the joint left intact.
- Limb Alignment Surgery (HTO)Realigning the leg to shift load off the worn side of the knee, and delay replacement.
- Peri-Prosthetic FracturesComplex fractures around an existing knee or hip replacement, fixed or revised.
Why robotic
A joint planned before it is ever replaced.
Conventional surgery works from experience and relies on mechanical alignment. Robot-assisted surgery lets Dr. Yogish rehearse your operation on a 3D map of your own joint, then hold that plan to a standard the hand alone cannot.
Robot-assisted
Conventional
The plan
Built in 3D from your own scans, before the first incision
Formed during surgery, from experience and the eye
Implant position
Held to sub-millimetre accuracy, confirmed live
Guided by mechanical jigs and visual alignment
Soft tissue
Ligament tension measured and balanced to your joint
Balanced by feel, released as judged necessary
Bone removed
Only what the plan calls for
Wider margins to accommodate the jigs
A surgical plan built from your own scans
Sub-millimetre accuracy in implant positioning
Smaller incisions, less disturbance to healthy tissue
Typically less post-operative pain and blood loss
Earlier walking and shorter stays for most patients
Alignment engineered for long-term implant durability
“The robot does not replace the surgeon’s judgement. It holds the plan to an accuracy the human hand alone cannot, and that is what I want for every joint I replace.”
The surgeon
Seasoned hands,
engineered precision.

The journey
From first visit to full recovery
Every patient follows the same considered path, so you always know exactly what happens next.
Consultation
A careful assessment of your symptoms, history and scans, with an honest discussion of every option, surgical and not.
3D planning
Your joint is mapped in three dimensions and the surgery planned to your exact anatomy, before the first incision.
Robot-assisted surgery
Dr. Yogish operates while the robotic arm holds the plan to sub-millimetre accuracy, with live feedback throughout.
Guided recovery
A structured physiotherapy plan gets you moving early and rebuilds strength, with review at every milestone.
Life after surgery
The point was never the operation. It was this.
Recovery is staged and guided, and it is measured in the ordinary things that quietly come back.
Around week 6
Stairs stop being a decision
The flight you had started avoiding becomes something you walk down carrying a tray, without planning it first.
Around month 3
The morning walk comes back
Distance returns before speed does. Most patients are back to a comfortable daily walk well before they expected.
Around month 6
Travel, temples, family
Uneven steps and long days out are usually the last things to return, and the ones people tell us they missed most.
When you are cleared
Back on court
Return to sport is staged and earned, guided by strength milestones rather than the calendar. Your surgeon confirms when.
Recovery timelines vary with the procedure, your general health and how the joint responds. The stages above describe the path most patients follow. Your own plan is set with Dr. Yogish and reviewed at every milestone.

Patient stories
Mobility restored, in their own words
“I was walking with support the day after my knee replacement. Six weeks on, the stairs that used to frighten me are just stairs again.”
“Dr. Yogish explained everything on a 3D scan of my own hip. For the first time I understood exactly what would happen, and why.”

“Only one side of my knee was worn, so he replaced just that part. Keeping the rest of my own knee mattered to me.”

Questions
What patients ask most
Clear answers to the questions we hear before every consultation.
No. Dr. Yogish performs every operation. The robotic system helps plan the surgery on a 3D model of your joint and then holds that plan to sub-millimetre accuracy during the procedure. The surgeon's experience and judgement lead every decision.
Suitability depends on your joint condition, general health and goals, not age alone. The best way to find out is a consultation, where your scans are reviewed and all your options, surgical and non-surgical, are explained clearly.
Most patients take their first supported steps within 24 hours of surgery. Recovery is gradual and guided by a structured physiotherapy plan tailored to you.
Yes, second opinions are genuinely welcome. You'll receive an independent, careful assessment and a clear explanation of your options, with no pressure to proceed.
