This innovative system collects and analyzes intraoperative data, empowering surgeons with real-time insights to make precise adjustments that restore the natural movement of the knee. These advancements aim to improve recovery times and ensure optimal outcomes tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
This milestone reflects Penang Adventist Hospital's dedication to a holistic approach to healthcare, where technology and compassion converge to offer comprehensive care. By integrating advanced medical innovations with a focus on the overall health and well-being of each patient, the hospital continues to set new standards in specialized healthcare in the Asia-Pacific region.
The hospital’s operating theatre team played a vital role in the success of this procedure, demonstrating exceptional skill and teamwork. Together, they exemplify Penang Adventist Hospital's mission to deliver patient-centered care that goes beyond treating symptoms to fostering long-term wellness.
