Robotic surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery allows surgeons to perform a wide range of surgeries through cuts as small as the size of a dime. Using a computer console, surgeons control a sophisticated camera and visual system to generate 3D high-definition views that are magnified for added precision. Tiny instruments mimic the actions of the surgeons hand movements.
Our goal with all surgical procedures is to get the job done and start the healing process with as little trauma as possible.
These types of minimally invasive procedures use specialized surgical tools and small incisions to:
- Minimize post-surgical pain
- Speed recovery times
- Shorten hospital stays
- Minimize the potential for complications
Orthopaedic robot-assisted surgery
What is Robotic Total Joint Repair?
Robotic-assisted joint replacements help surgeons enhance accuracy and minimize the risk of infection while reducing the margin of error.
Robotic-assisted joint repair enables the surgical team to plan for total joint replacement with advanced precision. Using a standard CT scan, a 3D model is made of the patient’s affected area. The model becomes a real-time roadmap for the surgical team as they prepare for the surgery.
During the surgical procedure, the surgeon, who is able to customize and modify the pre-operative plan to achieve the best possible result for the patient, performs the case using a robotic arm for minimal scarring and pain.
The Mako® SmartRobotics™ joint replacement surgical system offers the combination of market-leading implants for the hip, knee, ankle and shoulder along with Mako robotic-arm assisted technology.
