Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri has once again made a groundbreaking advancement in the field of urology by introducing the Zamenix kidney stone laser robot, a sophisticated robotic system designed to destroy kidney stones without open surgery.
This innovation makes Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri the first private hospital in Southeast Asia to feature a high-precision robotic system for minimally invasive, incision-free kidney stone removal.
The introduction of this technology reinforces Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri’s commitment to providing modern urology services that focus not only on cutting-edge innovation but also on patient comfort, safety, and optimal treatment outcomes.

What Is the Zamenix Kidney Stone Laser Robot?
The Zamenix kidney stone laser robot represents the latest evolution in urological technology, combining robotic precision with the power of high-energy thulium laser.
Using an ultra-thin endoscope with a diameter of only 2.8 mm, the robot can reach through the urinary tract all the way to the kidney to pulverize stones without any incision.
The procedure is performed using a robotic navigation system that allows the doctor to control the camera, laser, and stone-grasping instruments with exceptional stability and precision. As a result, kidney stones are completely destroyed and removed without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.
Unlike conventional shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which often leaves behind residual fragments, this robotic technology can break stones into fine particles — even large or deeply hidden ones — ensuring a clean and thorough result.
Additionally, the respiratory synchronization feature allows the robotic system to move in harmony with the patient’s breathing rhythm, maintaining maximum safety and stability throughout the procedure.
Advantages of the Zamenix Kidney Stone Laser Robot at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
With its ultra-precise robotic system, Zamenix offers numerous advantages compared to conventional procedures, including:
-
No incisions or surgical wounds
The procedure is performed through the urinary tract using an ultra-thin endoscope — completely eliminating the need for open surgery.
-
High precision and tissue safety
The robot’s flexible “arms” can reach every part of the kidney cavity, minimizing the risk of injury to surrounding tissues.
-
Complete stone clearance
The powerful thulium laser can pulverize stones with hardness up to 6 on the Mohs scale (equivalent to granite), ensuring even the smallest fragments are thoroughly removed.
-
Faster recovery
As a minimally invasive procedure, patients can recover and resume normal activities much faster compared to traditional surgery.
-
Higher success rate
The intelligent navigation system accurately identifies the stone’s size and location, enhancing both the effectiveness and safety of the procedure.
-
Reduced recurrence risk
The robotic precision ensures complete stone removal, significantly reducing the chance of recurrence.
Prof. Dr. Ponco Birowo, Sp.U(K), Ph.D — Robotic Urology Expert at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
One of the key figures behind the successful application of robotic technology for kidney stone treatment at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri is Prof. Dr. Ponco Birowo, Sp.U(K), Ph.D, a leading urologist and robotic surgeon in Indonesia.
