Compared with traditional surgery, Mako robot-assisted total hip replacement surgery is based on the patient's preoperative CT scan data to rebuild a three-dimensional model, which can present the three-dimensional positioning of the acetabular prosthesis, the angle, the size, the bone coverage and other information in three dimensions, helping the doctor to carry out more intuitive preoperative planning, and greatly enhance the accuracy of the operation, reduce the risk of the operation and the incidence of perioperative complications, and extend the life of the prosthesis. The newest addition to the system is a new, more advanced, and more advanced prosthesis that can be used in a variety of applications.
The joint surgery team at Concordia Hospital conducted preoperative planning
The patient was a 62-year-old woman with hip dysplasia. Before the operation, the joint surgery team of Concordia Hospital, together with the Department of Radiology, performed CT scanning and 3D reconstruction of the hip joint, and imported the information into the Mako Robotics System to determine in advance the size of the prosthesis, the area of bone grinding, and the angular position of the patient's placement, through software calculations. Prof. Weng Xisheng and Prof. Feng Bin of the Department of Orthopaedics made a comprehensive plan around the indications for Mako robotic surgery, intraoperative precautions, perioperative management, and patient prognosis.
On the day of surgery, the anesthesiology team preemptively performed regional anesthesia block to reduce the patient's preoperative pain. The operating room nursing team performed site management, equipment arrangement, and instrument preparation in the operating room in advance. The surgical team consisted of Prof. Xisheng Weng, Prof. Bin Feng, Dr. Wei Zhu and Dr. Yingjie Wang. After the surgery was revealed, the team performed the acetabular filing and implantation of the prosthesis under the guidance of the robotic arm with precision. Director of the Department of Orthopedics, Mr. Jianguo of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, and Deputy Director of the Department of Devices, Mr. Zhou Jun, gave great support and came to the operating room to observe the surgery. The surgery was successfully completed in 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Prof. Xisheng Weng and Prof. Bin Feng performed Mako robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty
After measurement, the patient's bilateral lower limbs were equal in length, and the prosthesis was in the right position, which was in line with the preoperative planning. On the first day after surgery, the patient was able to exercise on the ground and recovered well. The precise position of the prosthesis ensures the stability of the patient's hip joint after surgery and helps the patient to recover quickly after surgery.
In recent years, empowered by artificial intelligence technology, surgical robots have begun to be widely used in various segments of healthcare. As one of the earliest hospitals in China to carry out robotic surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital has completed its first pancreatic robotic surgery since 2012, and the volume of robot-assisted surgeries has exceeded 1,000 cases. The successful implementation of the Mako Orthopaedic Intelligent Robot-Assisted Total Hip Replacement Surgery has further broadened the scope of application of robotic surgery at PUH, and provided a good experience for the clinical application and accelerated popularization of robotic surgery.
