Hospital Columbia Asia Petaling Jaya Memajukan Penjagaan Sendi dengan Penggantian Lutut Sepenuhnya Dua Hala Berbantukan Robotik

PETALING JAYA, February 2026 – Columbia Asia Hospital Petaling Jaya is proud to mark a significant milestone in our journey of medical excellence with the introduction of Bilateral Total Knee Replacement using robotic-assisted surgery.

This advanced surgical technology offers numerous benefits, including smaller incisions, greater surgical precision, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. With enhanced accuracy, bilateral robotic surgery enables our surgeons to perform complex procedures more safely, ultimately improving patient comfort and outcomes.

We are honored to share that the very first patient to undergo Bilateral Total Knee Replacement at Columbia Asia Hospital Petaling Jaya was Madam Ng Siew Peng, a 70-year-old patient who bravely placed her trust in our medical team and this innovative surgical approach. We are delighted to report that following the surgery, Madam Ng experienced a smooth and rapid recovery. She was able to begin walking early in her recovery period and reported less post-operative pain — demonstrating the effectiveness of Bilateral Total Knee Replacement using robotic-assisted surgery for quicker healing and improved patient comfort.

We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation and congratulations to our Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon Dr Gayathri A/P P. Arumugam, along with the Operating Theatre (OT) team, for their dedication, professionalism, and outstanding teamwork in successfully performing the first Bilateral Total Knee Replacement at Columbia Asia Hospital Petaling Jaya.

As we continue to advance our medical capabilities, we look forward to helping more patients benefit from Bilateral Total Knee Replacement with robotic-assisted surgery and other cutting-edge treatments in the years to come.
