Robotic or robot-assisted surgery elevates minimal access surgery by offering numerous advantages for both surgeons and patients. Widely implemented across various surgical procedures, it allows surgeons to conduct both routine and intricate operations with enhanced safety and precision. The outcomes have consistently shown benefits from both patient and surgeon perspectives.
Orthopaedic Procedures Utilizing Robotic Systems
Our award-winning team of highly skilled surgeons specializes in performing life-saving surgeries, including:
- Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeries: This advanced technology empowers surgeons to execute parts of the procedure that require exceptional steadiness and precision, even in challenging areas.
- Robotic Spine Surgeries: Utilizing a 3-D magnified view of the surgical field, our surgeons achieve greater precision and accuracy when treating lower spine conditions such as sciatica.
- Robotic Total Hip Replacement Surgeries: The suture-less approach guarantees precise incisions, allowing for optimal fitting of artificial implants while maintaining proper body alignment, balance, and stability. Our team also focuses on comprehensive pain management strategies before, during, and after surgery to maximize success rates and minimize complications.
How Does the Robotic System Function?
We are equipped with a fully active robotic joint replacement system that exemplifies cutting-edge robotic surgery technology. This system:
- Operates under the guidance of an experienced surgeon.
- Offers unparalleled precision and dexterity in cutting and milling.
- Enhances the replacement process with exceptional accuracy.
- Utilizes in-built AI for real-time feedback, enabling mid-course corrections to ensure optimal outcomes.
- Minimizes the risk of repeat surgeries.
Since the robot is actively involved, it not only assists the surgeon but also provides real-time insights to address any unexpected issues during the procedure.
Key Features of the Robotic System
- Automated robotic surgical capabilities
- 3D CT-based surgical planning
- Fully automatic cutting without the need for cutting guides (jigs)
- Comprehensive tibial and femoral preparation
- Emergency stop and manual guidance options
- Optical Tracking System (OTS)
- Wide surgical space with high maneuverability (6-axis articulated robot)
- Patient-robot positioning guidance
- Speed control during cutting
- Compact design to minimize space requirements
Procedure for Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery
- The Procedure: Similar to traditional joint replacement, the robotic approach involves removing the arthritic portion of the knee and replacing it with an artificial joint to create a new knee joint surface.
- The Planning:
- Patients receive thorough counseling from the surgeon to make informed decisions regarding the procedure.
- High-resolution CT scans are conducted to create a 3D model of the knee.
- A detailed surgical plan is developed based on the 3D imaging.
- The Execution:
- The patient is connected to the robotic system and secured for the procedure.
- The 3D model serves as a guide throughout the operation.
- The surgical site is reverified with the 3D model.
- The surgeon selects a customized artificial joint using AI inputs from the robot.
- The robot assists in making precise bone cuts, ensuring the knee implant components are accurately placed and aligned.
Advantages of Robotic Joint Replacement
This approach benefits both surgeons and patients:
- No sutures and minimal pain lead to a scar-free, natural-looking postoperative appearance.
- Real-time monitoring allows for adjustments during surgery if unexpected complications arise.
- Sub-millimetre precision enhances the longevity and durability of the implant.
- Significant reduction in bone, ligament, and blood loss.
- High-resolution CT scan simulations facilitate accurate cuts during the procedure.
- Exceptional track record from our award-winning orthopaedic surgery team.
- Reduced risk of infections and complications due to minimized human intervention.
- Optimal positioning of implants with unparalleled cutting accuracy.
Why Surgeons Prefer Robotic Surgery
Robotic systems represent the pinnacle of automated surgical technology, providing multiple benefits to both surgeons and patients. Key advantages include:
- Simplicity: Enables detailed pre-surgery planning through advanced 3D CT imaging.
- Flexibility: Allows for plan adjustments and a variety of cutting options throughout the surgical process.
- Accuracy: Ensures precise surgical planning with sub-millimetre accuracy and repeat precision.
- Safety: Monitors bone movements and can automatically halt procedures to prevent inappropriate actions, with a rapid reaction time of 0.1 milliseconds.
