Surgery and Recovery

Accuracy with O Arm CT O Arm Tomography

During the surgical procedure, real-time imaging is crucial. O Arm CT O Arm Tomography is a mobile imaging system that forms a ring around the patient on the operating table. It provides 2D and 3D images instantly, allowing the surgeon to verify the placement of screws or implants while the patient is still asleep. This immediate feedback loop ensures that hardware is placed with sub-millimeter accuracy, significantly reducing the risk of revision surgery.

Safety with Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

To protect the patient’s nerves during complex spinal or hip reconstruction, Intraoperative Neuromonitoring is utilized. This technology monitors the functional integrity of the spinal cord and nerve roots in real-time. If the surgeon’s instruments get too close to a nerve, the system alerts the team immediately, allowing for a change in approach before any damage occurs.

For patients with spinal tumors or complex deformities, the Versa HD Hexapod system may be used in conjunction with surgery to deliver highly precise radiation therapy or to correct alignment using a six-degree-of-freedom robotic couch.

Follow-up and Support

Recovery and Implant Longevity

Recovery after robotic surgery is often faster than traditional methods due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure. Patients are typically walking within hours of Robotic Knee Replacement or Robotic Hip Replacement. Long-term care focuses on physical therapy to restore strength and range of motion. The precise alignment achieved with the robot is expected to reduce wear and tear on the implant, potentially extending its lifespan beyond the typical 15-20 years.

Quality of Life

The ultimate goal is a pain-free, active life. Because the robotic system preserves more natural bone and soft tissue, patients often report a more natural-feeling joint. Regular follow-up with X-rays is standard to monitor the implant’s stability. With the combination of advanced diagnostics like 3 Tesla MR and precise execution using O Arm CT O Arm Tomography, patients can return to activities like hiking, swimming, and cycling with confidence.
