Robotic knee replacement represents a cutting-edge advancement in knee surgery. Conducted under general anaesthesia, the procedure involves the surgeons making small incisions and utilising a robotic arm equipped with a camera for visual guidance displayed on a monitor.
Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, stands at the forefront of employing robotic advancements in various departments. Our Orthopaedic department is no exception and is equipped with robotic technologies to carry out various procedures including robotic knee replacement.
With various instruments attached to the robotic arm, damaged joints or tissue is meticulously removed and replaced with an artificial joint. This replacement can be partial, focusing on the specific damaged part of the knee joint, or total, involving the entire knee when extensively damaged. Robotic knee replacement provides enhanced precision and faster recovery compared to conventional total knee replacement.
Preparing for Your Robotic Knee Replacement
Following these pre-surgery instructions is like ensuring a safe and smooth journey during your surgery. These steps are carefully designed to lay the foundation for a successful procedure, minimise risks, and fast-track your journey back to good health:
While You are Having Your Robotic Knee Replacement
Robotic knee replacement is performed under general anesthesia, with you being asleep during the operation so you feel no pain.
Your surgeon will make small incisions and use a robotic arm with a camera attached for video assistance to show an image of the surgery on a monitor. Utilizing various instruments attached to the robotic arm, the damaged joint or tissue is removed and substituted with an artificial joint. This joint replacement can be either partial or total.
For partial knee replacement, when only a specific part of the knee joint is damaged, the robotic procedure focuses on replacing only that particular section with an artificial joint.
In the case of robotic total knee replacement, when the entire knee joint is extensively damaged, the entire knee is replaced with an artificial joint.
