What is robotic Knee Replacement surgery?
Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery is an alternative to the conventional knee replacement procedure. It is performed using the robotic-arm which allows the surgeon to precisely perform the surgery as compared to traditional surgery.

Who does the surgery in robotic knee replacement procedure
With robotic surgery, the surgeon is always the one in control, but the robot acts as a high-tech assistant to help them take the cuts precisely and position the implants accurately. The role of surgeon and robot is summarised in the table below.

What are the advantages of robotic surgery?
Robotic surgery offers quite a few advantages compared with traditional open surgery methods, including:

Improved surgical precision

Better implant positioning, which equals a more natural feeling implant

Better stability and better knee function

Less blood loss

Less healthy bone loss

Shorter hospital stay

Less pain during recovery

Faster return to regular activities

How Velys robotic system is unique when compared to other robotic systems?
The velys robotic system has the following advantages compared to other robotic systems available in the market currently.

CT scan not required – No risk of CT radiation.

Pre surgery imaging is not required - cost and time saving.

Cuts with the robotic saw are smooth (unlike cuts taken by a burr).

Ligament tension is quantified – helps in accurate balancing.

Making corrections and recuts are easy and accurate.

What is the role of Robot in Knee Replacement Surgery?
Robotic surgery offers many benefits to patients compared to conventional surgery,including :

a) High degree of accuracy and precision

b) Better aligned and balanced knee

c) Implant feels more natural

d) Less blood losse) Shorter hospitalization

f) Reduced pain and discomfort

g) Faster recovery to normal activities.

h) Higher Patient Satisfaction
