The application of medical robotics in China is increasingly concentrated in General Surgery and Orthopedics, these being the two largest areas of procedural volume and complexity where robotic assistance offers maximum benefit. General surgery procedures, from abdominal to gastrointestinal operations, benefit immensely from the precision and stable camera control provided by robotic systems.

In Orthopedics, robots are crucial for enhancing the accuracy of joint replacement surgeries (like knees and hips), improving the precision of bone cutting and implant placement, which leads to better long-term functional outcomes for patients. The high volume of orthopedic cases, driven by China's aging population, makes this a particularly significant area for robotic deployment.

These high-volume, high-impact applications are the primary revenue drivers for the entire robotics domain. As clinical evidence of the improved outcomes in these procedures accumulates, investment in and adoption of specialized robotic assistants for general and orthopedic use is expected to continue its robust upward trend. To see the key applications, consult the China Medical Robotics report.
