Kazakhstan Takes Leap Forward with First Advanced Neurosurgical Robot in Karaganda

The Professor Makazhanov Multidisciplinary Hospital in Karaganda has introduced Kazakhstan’s first next-generation neurosurgical robot, the Remebot RM-200, marking a significant milestone in the country’s medical technology.

The AI-powered Remebot RM-200 is a cutting-edge surgical system designed to analyze medical data and assist surgeons with remarkable precision during brain operations, The Caspian Post informs via Kazakh media.

The robot is scheduled to perform its first procedures shortly, focusing on intracranial biopsies and brain tumor ablations.

Hospital Director Erkin-Dauir Kurmangaliyev emphasized that this innovative technology will allow the facility to conduct over 300 advanced neurosurgical procedures annually. The robot’s use promises to reduce surgical invasiveness and accelerate patient recovery times.

With an impressive accuracy of less than one millimeter, the Remebot RM-200 supports complex surgeries, including those for Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, brain tumors, stereotactic procedures, and hematoma removal, significantly improving success rates.

Karaganda’s neurosurgical team received specialized training in China, where similar robotic systems are widely used. The doctors have also completed trial surgeries to gain hands-on experience with the Remebot system.

Highlighting the country’s broader medical progress, doctors in Almaty recently performed a high-risk knee surgery on a patient with an artificial heart, showcasing Kazakhstan’s expanding expertise in complex surgical care.
