Robotic arm assisted surgery in Warwickshire

How does robotic arm assisted surgery work? 

Before surgery

In the weeks before your operation, our robotic arm, or Boris as we like to call him, processes the information taken from a 3D CT scan of your body. Your consultant then plans the operation to within fractions of a millimetre with the help of Boris.

During surgery

Your consultant is always in control during the operation. Boris allows the consultant to perform the joint replacement with pinpoint accuracy. The consultant uses Boris's arm as an extension of his or herself, guiding surgical tools to the correct position.

Recovery

Higher accuracy means the replacement fits as well as it possibly can and ensures the joint functions as normally as possible after surgery.

It's been shown to result in a shorter hospital stay, quicker recovery and higher satisfaction. There's also strong evidence of decreased pain and fewer complications following surgery.

Robotic arm assisted procedures:

• Hip replacement surgery
• Knee replacement surgery
