Advanced Technology
Advanced robotic technology enhances surgical precision, improving outcomes and speeding recovery for hip and knee replacements.
Robotic-assisted surgery represents the next generation of surgical care at Optimised Care. By combining the skill and experience of our consultant surgeons with state-of-the-art robotic systems, we deliver a level of precision that enhances every stage of the procedure. From pre-operative planning through to implant placement, robotic technology allows for personalised surgical approaches that are tailored to each patient's unique anatomy, leading to better outcomes, less pain, and a faster return to the activities you enjoy.
The Process
The surgeon operates from a console, using hand and foot controls to direct robotic arms fitted with precision instruments. Every movement is initiated and controlled by the surgeon — the robotic system simply translates those movements with enhanced accuracy and steadiness.
High-definition 3D imaging provides the surgeon with a magnified, detailed view of the surgical area. This enhanced visualisation allows for greater accuracy when working around delicate structures, ensuring the procedure is as safe and effective as possible.
Robotic-assisted procedures use small incisions, significantly reducing trauma to surrounding tissue. The combination of miniaturised instruments and enhanced surgeon control means less disruption to the body, leading to reduced pain and a quicker recovery.
Patient Benefits
Robotic guidance enables accurate implant alignment to sub-millimetre tolerances, ensuring optimal positioning for long-lasting results.
Smaller incisions and precise instrument control mean less damage to surrounding tissue, resulting in less post-operative pain.
Most patients return to daily activities within 2–3 weeks, significantly shorter than traditional surgical approaches.
Minimally invasive techniques reduce infection risk and blood loss, leading to fewer post-surgical complications.
Accurate implant placement contributes to improved joint function, greater range of motion, and longer implant lifespan.
Our Technology
The da Vinci Surgical System provides surgeons with an advanced set of instruments to perform minimally invasive surgery. Using tiny incisions, the system translates the surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of micro-instruments inside the body. The high-definition 3D vision system provides magnified views of the surgical area, enhancing visualisation beyond what the human eye can see.
The Mako SmartRobotics™ system by Stryker is specifically designed for orthopaedic joint replacement. Using CT-based 3D modelling, the system creates a personalised surgical plan for each patient. During surgery, the robotic arm guides the surgeon with predefined boundaries, enabling accurate bone preparation and precise implant positioning for hip and knee replacements.
