What is Robotic Assisted Total Hip Replacement?

Robotic Assisted Total Hip Replacement (THR) is an advanced surgical technique that utilises state-of-the-art Mako Robotic technology to enhance the precision and accuracy of hip implant placement. While Mr. Raman Sethi remains in full control of the surgical procedure, the robotic arm assists him in preparing the bone and positioning the prosthetic components with unparalleled accuracy, based on a detailed 3D pre-operative plan. This innovative approach aims to optimise the alignment and fit of the hip replacement,
potentially leading to improved function, reduced pain, and a more predictable recovery.

Benefits of Robotic Assisted THR

While the benefits can vary for each patient, robotic-assisted total hip replacement may offer
several advantages:

Enhanced Precision

Greater accuracy in implant placement, potentially leading to better stability and longevity of the implant.

Personalised Fit

Custom planning based on your unique anatomy, optimising the feel and function of your new hip.

Potentially Faster Recovery

Some studies suggest that the precision of robotic surgery may contribute to less soft tissue damage, potentially leading to reduced post-operative pain and a quicker return to mobility.

Reduced Risk of Complications

Improved accuracy may help reduce the risk of complications such as leg length discrepancy and hip dislocation.

Who is a Candidate for Robotic Assisted THR?

Many patients who are candidates for conventional total hip replacement may also be suitable for robotic-assisted surgery. Mr. Sethi will discuss whether this advanced technique is appropriate for your specific condition during your consultation. Factors considered include your overall health, the nature of your hip condition, and your anatomical characteristics.

FAQs

Is robotic hip replacement truly "robot surgery"?

No, it’s “robotic-assisted” Mr. Sethi is always in complete control of the robotic arm, which enhances his precision and accuracy, but he performs the surgery. The robot doesn’t operate autonomously.

The size of the incision depends more on the surgical approach used and the patient’s anatomy, rather than solely on the robotic assistance. While smaller incisions may be possible in some cases, the primary benefit of robotic assistance is precision.

While individual results vary, some patients may experience less pain and potentially a faster initial recovery due to the precision that can lead to less soft tissue manipulation. However, adherence to the post-operative rehabilitation program remains crucial for full recovery.

No, the implants themselves are typically the same high-quality, clinically proven implants used in conventional total hip replacement. The difference lies in the method of planning and precise placement of these implants.

In most cases, if your total hip replacement is covered by your health insurance, the robotic assistance component is also covered. It’s always advisable to confirm with your specific health fund about your coverage.
