RobotMD is here to bring the public the latest information on emerging robotic surgeries and procedures. These technologies benefit humanity by improving precision, recovery and outcomes for patients.
Partial Knee Replacement Using Robotics
Robotic technology in orthopedic surgery is quickly advancing, especially for partial and total knee replacements. As of the writing of this article, rumors abound that three companies are about to release robotic technology for shoulder replacement surgeries within the next year. Hopefully, I will be writing an article on those systems in the near future.
For this article, however, I would like to focus on partial knee replacement, also known as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).
The Benefits of Robotics in Vaginal Suspension Surgery
Vaginal suspension surgery is a critical procedure for women suffering from pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and other related conditions. Traditionally performed through open surgery or laparoscopically, these procedures can be challenging due to the complexity of the female anatomy and the intricacies involved in restoring pelvic support. However, the advent of robotic-assisted surgery has revolutionized this field, offering numerous benefits that enhance patient outcomes and surgical precision.
Benefits of a Robotically Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty

The robotics in medicine landscape is ever improving and evolving, and with that, it is easy to see how a robotically assisted total knee replacement (TKA) has substantial benefits to the patient over a standard total knee arthroplasty. Studies show improvements in patient satisfaction post-operatively, improved short term recovery and implant survivorship.
Go Home the Same Day After a Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement
Chad Mitchell, MD, FAAOS
Is it possible to have a robotic-assisted knee replacement and go home on the same day? Today’s advancements in technology, post-operative pain management, and blood loss management make it easy to avoid admission to the hospital and go home on the same day as the surgery.
The Benefits of Robotic Surgery in Gynecology
Justo Maqueira, Jr, MD
Robotic surgery in gynecology offeres several benefits that make it a valuable tool for surgeons and patients alike.
Firstly, robotic surgery allows for greater precision and control during procedures. The robotic system enhances a surgeon’s dexterity by translating their hand hand movements into precise movements of the robotic arms, resulting in more precise incisions. and sutures.
