Comprehensive Cardiac Care: Nurturing a Healthier Heart for Life
A common misconception is that a robot performs the operation. In reality, your surgeon is always in control. ROSA stands for RObotic Surgical Assistant. It acts like a high-tech GPS for your surgeon, providing real-time data and guidance. The robot does not move unless your surgeon prompts it, ensuring that human expertise is enhanced, not replaced.
No two knees are exactly alike. Traditional surgery often uses "average" measurements, but ROSA allows for complete personalization.
This personalization often results in a knee that feels more "natural" and less like an artificial joint.
One of the biggest advantages of the ROSA system is its ability to help surgeons define safe boundaries. The precision of the robotic arm ensures that bone cuts are made exactly where planned, sparing surrounding soft tissues, nerves, and healthy bone. This "minimally invasive" approach reduces trauma to the knee, which is a major factor in how you feel after waking up from surgery.
Because the surgery is more precise and less invasive, the road to recovery is often smoother. Patients undergoing robotic-assisted knee replacement typically experience:
Less post-operative pain and reliance on pain medication.
Reduced scarring due to smaller incisions.
A shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to daily activities like walking, driving, and gardening.
We believe that our patients deserve the best technology available. By investing in the ROSA Knee System, Seawoods Hospital has committed to higher standards of safety and satisfaction. Our orthopedic specialists are specifically trained to harness this technology, ensuring you get the best of both worlds: expert medical judgment and robotic precision.
