What is Robotic Hip Replacement?

Hip replacement is an effective treatment method applied in patients with advanced hip joint arthritis, joint calcification or severe damage to the hip joint as a result of traumatic injuries.

Traditional hip replacement surgery has been successfully performed for years and allows patients to move painlessly, but robotic surgical technologies developed in recent years offer significant advantages in terms of precision and patient outcomes in hip replacement surgeries.

Robotic hip replacement is an advanced surgical technique in which the surgeon utilises a robotic system during surgery. This method starts with detailed imaging and planning before surgery. Tomography images of the patient’s hip are taken and the angle, position and size of the prosthesis are meticulously planned specifically for the patient. During the operation, the surgeon performs the planned placement of the prosthesis with the support of the robotic arm under the guidance of the surgeon, and each step is controlled with millimetric accuracy.

What are the Differences Between Traditional Hip Replacement and Robotic Hip Replacement?

1. Sensitivity and Accuracy:

   The technology used in robotic hip replacement surgery performs the placement of the prosthesis with millimetre accuracy. This precision allows the prosthesis to be placed more appropriately in the joint.

2. Personalised Planning:

   In robotic surgery, a special planning is made for each patient’s anatomy. While the surgeon’s experience and general measurements are used in the traditional method, the robotic system provides the most ideal prosthesis placement by taking into account the individual anatomical structure of the patient.

3. Better Alignment:

   Correct alignment of the hip prosthesis is critical for the durability and longevity of the prosthesis. Robotic surgery reduces the risk of postoperative complications by optimising the anatomical alignment of the prosthesis.

4. Fast Recovery Process:

   The robotic system creates less soft tissue damage during surgery. This contributes to the reduction of postoperative pain and acceleration of the healing process.

5. Less Risk of Complications:

   Misalignment or misplacement of the prosthesis can lead to complications such as loosening, dislocation and premature wear. Robotic surgery minimises these complication risks.

As a result, robotic hip replacement applications contribute to better outcomes for patients by offering a more precise and personalised treatment than traditional methods.
