Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery System
At Columbus Community Hospital, we are committed to providing the latest surgical technology for our patients. The Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery System is the latest piece of equipment to provide a better surgical experience for our patients.
This state-of-the-art system uses a 3D virtual model of a patient’s unique anatomy and a robotic arm to help orthopedic surgeons plan and perform total knee, total hip and partial knee replacements.
The Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery System gives orthopedic surgeons the ability to:
- Personalize patient-specific, 3-D bone models.
- Modify the procedure during the operation to help restore natural anatomy.
- Control a robotic arm in bone preparation.
Benefits of robotic surgery
In clinical and laboratory studies, the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery System was shown to help surgeons perform their surgical plans more accurately.
This increased level of precision and customization leads to the following benefits for patients:
- Less trauma to surrounding tissue.
- Shorter hospital stays.
- Less post-operative pain.
