Robotic Surgery Q&A

What is robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery is an advanced surgical tool that combines minimally invasive surgical techniques with innovative robotic technology. 

With robotic surgery, your surgeon remains in full control during your surgical procedure. However, they use robotic tools and technology to assist.

When utilizing robotic surgery, your orthopedic surgeon performs complex procedures with better precision and smaller incisions. 

The advanced technology also allows your surgeon to upload your surgical plan to the computer prior to the procedure and adjust the surgery as needed to ensure you get the best possible outcomes.

When is robotic surgery used?

Dr. True and the Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine team use robotic surgery when performing partial or total knee replacements. For these procedures, they use either the:

Stryker Mako Total Knee

The Stryker Mako Total Knee robotic surgical system is an advanced tool that allows your surgeon at Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine to more accurately perform your knee replacement procedure.

The system also causes less tissue damage, which means reduced postoperative pain and a faster recovery. They use the Mako Total Knee to perform both total and partial knee replacements. 

Smith+Nephew CORI Surgical System

The Smith+Nephew CORI Surgical System allows the team to perform partial and total knee replacement procedures using a handheld device, allowing greater flexibility and better outcomes.

With this advanced system, the team customizes your prosthetic pieces to match your body mechanics and joint measurements for the perfect fit. 

What are the benefits of robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery for total and partial knee replacement offers many benefits for you and your surgeon. The team at Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine uses robotic surgery whenever possible because of these benefits:

  • Smaller incisions and less scarring
  • Minimal blood loss
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Faster recovery
  • Less soft tissue damage
  • Reduced postoperative pain

Robotic surgery also ensures you get the best possible surgical outcomes. The innovative technology uses real-time data during your procedure, allowing your surgeon to quickly adjust your surgical plan. 

Though robotic surgery shortens your recovery time following knee replacement surgery, the team refers you to physical therapy afterward to ensure a safe and effective recovery. 

Robotic surgery benefits you and your surgeon. To discuss surgical options for your knee replacement procedure, call Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine or book an appointment online today.
