The first robot-assisted total knee replacement in southwest China. What are the advantages of robot-assisted surgery?

The advantages of robot-assisted surgery are more accurate and accurate angle, which may reduce the dependence on doctors' experience. According to scientific data, surgery can be performed. It happened in Huaxi Hospital. At the beginning of the year, Wang's left knee underwent knee replacement surgery. It is painful to go shopping all the year round and it is difficult to walk, so she came to Huaxi Hospital for joint replacement surgery this time. What is special this time is that the operation was completed with the aid of a machine. This robot-assisted surgery is the first robot-assisted replacement surgery in West China Hospital, and it was also completed under the leadership of Professor Zhou of West China Hospital.

Wang's knee problem has a long history, but it has not been paid attention to. The pain in the knee joint has intensified recently. The doctor injected her with painkillers and other drugs to relieve the pain in her knee joint, but the final effect was not ideal. Therefore, under the evaluation of Professor Zhou's condition in West China Hospital, she thinks that Wang can only replace his knee through surgery, otherwise there is no way to relieve the pain in his knee. At that time, Wang could not straighten her knees. At the suggestion of Professor Zhou, he finally agreed to operate on Wang.

Later, Professor Zhou told Wang that Huaxi Hospital was carrying out a clinical plan of robot-assisted surgery. At present, the operation cost of this scheme is relatively low, the effect is good, and the safety is no problem, so Wang finally chose to accept robot-assisted surgery. Professor Zhou explained that bilateral surgery needs the help of machine-aided system. First, the CT data should be imported into the computer, and then all the sizes of bones and prostheses should be input, so that the machine can simulate one side first, and then the doctor can start the operation. With the help of robots, doctors can control higher surgical accuracy and reduce the pressure on doctors.

Professor Zhou said that the advantage of the machine-aided system is that it is more intelligent and accurate, and the scalpel is accurate in both area and thickness and will not make mistakes. In the past, this technology required doctors with many years of experience to complete. Now, with this equipment, doctors can be more relaxed and have better results. At present, Wang has recovered and left the hospital, and his legs can walk normally without pain.
