The VELYS™ Robotics Assisted Solution creates personalised surgical plans based on each patient's body shape. During surgery, the robotic arm guides the surgeon to position the implant accurately while protecting healthy bone tissue. VELYS™ also provides real-time feedback to ensure precision and accuracy when placing the joint implants.
At Nuffield Health Cheltenham Hospital, we offer total knee replacements using the VELYS™ Robotic-Arm-Assisted Solution. However, robotic-arm-assisted surgery may not be suitable for every patient. Your consultant will evaluate your specific condition and guide you on whether this treatment option is the most appropriate.
The benefits of robotic-arm assisted surgery
- Lower post-operative pain in comparison to traditional surgery, helping you to move around more quickly.
- Shorter hospital stays, enabling you to return home to your loved ones sooner.
- Better accuracy of the implant placement, which preserves soft tissue and accelerates your recovery process.
