Orthovolution 2026 Introduces Robotic Surgery Innovation and Live Surgery
Siloam Hospitals Mampang officially organised the Siloam Orthovolution 2026: Symposium & Live Surgery for the first time on Saturday (6/6). Carrying the theme “Transforming Orthopaedic Care Through Innovation,” this event serves as a milestone for Siloam International Hospitals in strengthening musculoskeletal services in Indonesia.
This large-scale event is more than a standard symposium; it represents a strategic momentum for Siloam Hospitals Mampang to transform into the Siloam Orthopaedic Hospital. This facility is projected to become a modern, integrated national referral centre based on the latest technological innovations.
The forum brought together orthopaedic experts, healthcare professionals, and stakeholders to delve into the latest developments in bone, joint, and muscle treatment. The presence of international experts, such as Dr Peter Gifford from Brisbane, Australia, provided a significant opportunity for knowledge transfer to local medical personnel.
President Director of Siloam International Hospitals, David Utama, emphasised that this initiative is part of the group’s commitment to delivering world-class service standards. “We want to provide clinical excellence and multidisciplinary collaboration oriented towards the best patient outcomes,” he stated.
The transformation of Siloam Hospitals Mampang encompasses comprehensive services, ranging from initial diagnosis to medical rehabilitation. CEO of Siloam Hospitals Mampang, Ratih Hadiwinoto, noted that the hospital is being positioned as a premium facility with a Centre of Excellence in the field of orthopaedics.
Notably, the founders emphasised that technology is merely a tool to achieve the primary goal: patient mobility. Prof. Dr. dr. Andri M. T. Lubis, Sp.OT, Subsp.CO(K), stated that innovation must be translated into safe clinical practice. Similarly, Dr Henry Suhendra, Sp.OT, Subsp.CO(K), reminded that not all cases require surgery.
“Our main goal is to help patients regain mobility. Conservative therapy and targeted rehabilitation play just as important a role as precision surgical procedures,” explained Dr Henry.
The success of these innovations is evidenced by patient testimonials. Iskandar Abubakar, a Total Knee Replacement (TKR) patient, shared how the medical team’s support helped him overcome his anxieties to return to his activities. Another inspiring story came from Vera, a bilateral knee replacement patient. Only three months post-surgery, Vera not only returned to walking normally but also won a sports competition. This experience reinforces that the integration of technology and proper post-operative care can significantly improve patient quality of life.
Through Siloam Orthovolution 2026, Siloam Hospitals Mampang is solidifying its position as a pioneer of modern orthopaedic services in Indonesia. With robotic surgery technology, the standard of surgical care is no longer limited by geographical distance, but rather determined by the quality of expertise and technological precision. Robotic systems do not replace the surgeon’s role but function as an extension of the surgeon’s hands, controlled entirely via a console. Beyond orthopaedics, robotics are increasingly used in urology, breast surgery, thyroid, ENT, neurosurgery, and even cardiac surgery.
