Committed to always being at the forefront of technology applied to medicine and health care Finochietto Sanatorium has incorporated the system Mako Smart Robotics TMthe latest generation intelligent robotic assistance to perform orthopedic knee and hip surgeries, thus the first healthcare center in the country to have this cutting-edge technology.
The Mako system allows surgeons to perform personalized surgical plans and carry out minimally invasive procedures with unmatched precision, improving clinical outcomes for patients.
This is the first robotic technology that can be applied across the entire line of joint replacement, including total knee and hip replacements, and partial knee replacements.
How this advanced robotic assistance works
Mako Smart Robotics TM combines three unique components: preoperative planning based on 3D computed tomography (CT); AccuStopTM haptic technology which provides auditory, visual and tactile feedback in real time, assisting surgeons during the intervention as planned; and the intelligent data analysis.
The three-dimensional tomography allows the generation of custom surgical plans based on each patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring that the size, orientation and alignment of the implant are optimal in each case, with less damage to soft tissues and greater bone preservation. During the procedure, the robotic arm guides the surgeon to execute the designed plan, also allowing precise adjustments.
Benefits for patients
This advanced robotic platform enables more precise and safer surgerieswith superior results than improve patient well-being, with less postoperative pain and faster physical rehabilitation due to the less invasiveness of the procedure. This makes it easier to return to daily activities with less discomfort.
“The Mako system is the most innovative technology for hip and knee surgeries due to the precision in placing the implants and the smaller, more specific incision, which accelerates recovery in the immediate postoperative period. It marks an important advance in prevention and safety for patients, which redefines the standards in complex interventions,” indicated Dr. Jorge Ortega Traverso (MN: 65,683), Hip consultant of the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service of Sanatorio Finochietto.
Dr. Ortega Traverso stressed that the function of the robotic arm in surgery is to assist and that itControl is always in the hands of a highly trained and certified surgeon for its use.“It is a tool for the doctor, who is the one who makes the decisions, but with the advantage of greater precision and personalization.”
Today there are Mako systems installed in 43 countries, with more than 1.5 million surgeries performed. It is a milestone in orthopedic robotics that has demonstrated significant value for optimize surgical results and patient well-being.
Applications of this innovative technology
According to a study published in The Journal of Arthroplasty, Mako Smart Robotics TM showed optimal alignment in 94% of the knee surgeriescompared to 80% in conventional surgeries. This means less risk of implant displacement and faster recovery, allowing patients to spend less time in the hospital and return to their daily activities sooner.
For him partial knee replacement The Mako system is a treatment option designed to relieve pain from joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis that has not yet progressed to all three compartments of the knee. By specifically targeting the damaged part of the knee, surgeons can restore it while protecting the healthy bone surrounding the joint. Studies have shown that robotic arm-assisted partial knee replacement showed greater precision in implant position, compared to traditional procedures.
About him total hip replacement Robotic arm-assisted surgery is an alternative treatment for adults with degenerative hip joint disease. In a controlled study to measure acetabular bone resection, published in Hip International, the results suggest greater bone preservation for Mako compared to traditional surgery.
With the incorporation of Mako Smart Robotics TM Sanatorio Finochietto continues to position itself at the forefront of surgical technology and healthcare, in line with global best practices in healthcare. www.sanatoriofinochietto.com
