Hospital da Luz Oeiras already performs knee surgeries for prosthesis placement assisted by robotic system . Robotic surgery represents a significant evolution in modern orthopaedics, by allowing surgery three-dimensional planning and high-precision execution adapted to the anatomy and biomechanics of each patient. The first knee robotic surgeries in this hospital were performed in 2025 by a multidisciplinary team including orthopaedists Thiago Martins Aguiar and João G. Castro , specialists in knee pathology. Robotics represents more than technological innovation – it is a natural step in the evolution of knee surgery, reinforcing an already highly differentiated practice. The goal is always the same: to offer greater precision, predictability, and safety, ensuring better clinical results and greater satisfaction for patients. The CORI system, used by Hospital da Luz Oeiras, is a portable robot comprising high-definition cameras, optical sensors and a computer that reproduces in real time a 3D digital model of the patient’s knee. Based on that model, the surgeon defines the surgical plan and executes with the support of the robotic system all the necessary moves with millimetric precision, from the bone cuts to the prosthesis placement. This technological advancement complements a model of treatment already consolidated at Hospital da Luz Oeiras, and including: Digital planning and customized surgical approach. Dedicated team of knee orthopaedists, anaesthesia, and specialized nursing. Close monitoring of pain and early mobilization in the postoperative period. Physiotherapy program initiated during hospitalization. By adopting robotic surgery in Orthopaedics, Hospital da Luz Oeiras takes another decisive step towards innovation and differentiation in the healthcare offered to its patients.
