New paths are being opened in Orthopedic Surgery with the use of the latest robotic technology led by the Henry Dunant Hospital Center, as part of the continuous upgrading of its biomedical equipment.
The state-of-the-art Navio Robotics-assisted surgical system, which is the new acquisition of the hospital center, ensures a range of benefits for patients, while providing the opportunity for innovative surgeries in its Orthopedic departments.
The new Robotics-assisted surgical system, ensures among other things:
- Preoperative planning without the need for CT scan - therefore, zero radiation for the patient.
- Intraoperatively, it enables the surgeon to modify his/her plan at any time with millimeter precision, in order to ensure the optimal placement of the arthroplasty materials.
- It predicts and informs the surgeon about the results of his/her manipulations in the postoperative movement of the joint. The absolute accuracy in the placement of the implants, guarantees excellent quality and range of movement, and maximization of implants’ expected life time.
The combination of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with the use of robotics-assisted technology and the implementation of a fast track recovery program, ensure the best possible outcome for the patient.
Thus, better postoperative recovery is achieved even without physiotherapy, due to minimal tissue damage and perfect balance of muscle and ligament elements of the joint. This combination results in the patient walking immediately after surgery, without assistance, without the need for a blood transfusion and being hospitalized for up to two days.
