When a surgical procedure is performed using robotic devices guided by a surgeon, it is termed as robotics assisted surgery. It has many applications in the clinical field, as robotics surgery helps surgeons perform complex surgeries with precision instruments and advanced systems which minimize the patient body invasion and reduce recovery time for patients.
The robotics device is equipped with endoscopic viewing devices, scanners and laser blades which help visualize affected areas without the need of open surgery as per traditional surgery methods. Doctors can plan and chart the surgery and perform the procedure with higher precision and lower risk to patient life.
Robotic Partial Knee Replacement
Partial Knee Replacement replaces the damaged part of the patient’s knee joint with an artificial joint or part of it, using robotic surgery. The procedure treats pain, deformity and loss of function due to Osteoarthritis by removing and replacing the damaged bone and cartilage with metal, plastic and synthetic materials. This type of surgery treats patients who are not responding well to other treatments for their Osteoarthritis or if there is evidence that their condition will worsen over time. The recovery time in such surgeries is shortened and healing outcomes are much faster compared to traditional methods of surgery.
Robotic Total Knee Replacement
Total Knee Replacement replaces the patient’s damaged knee joint with an artificial joint using robotic surgery. The procedure treats pain, deformity and loss of function due to Osteoarthritis by removing and replacing the damaged bone and cartilage with metal, plastic and synthetic materials. This type of surgery treats patients who are not responding well to other treatments for their Osteoarthritis or if there is evidence that their condition will worsen over time.
Robotic Total Hip Replacement
Total Hip Replacement uses artificial parts to replace the ball and socket of the hip joint using minimally invasive robotic surgery methods. Osteoarthritis, characterized by a breakdown of the cartilage, is the main reason that covers the ends of the bones, causing pain, stiffness and loss of joint function.
Total Hip Replacement involves breaking the bone in the thigh (femur) and removing and replacing the damaged joint with an artificial joint.
