Robot-Assisted Hip and
Knee Replacement Surgery in Dubai
Middle east is highly adept in inventing and utilizing the latest technologies in medical science. One such astonishing medical advancement is robotic-assisted surgeries. Dr Sabri, a highly qualified consultant surgeon in trauma and orthopaedics , is adeptly executing robot-assisted hip replacement surgeries in Dubai.
Here is how it is done
Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery in Dubai
To give patients a more personalized and precise surgery experience, Dr Sabri uses Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery in Dubai.
Robot-assisted knee replacement is of two types: Partial knee replacement and total knee replacement.
While the procedure is similar to arthroscopic partial or total knee replacement surgery, in robot-assisted knee replacement surgery, the surgeon operates with a robotic hand attachment whose one hand hinges on the femur or thigh and the other on the tibia. The robotic arms are attached to a computer system and the surgeon operates on a live feed on a computer screen.
According to Dr Sabri, “The robot-assisted knee replacement is a revolutionary helping hand to surgeons because it obtains continuous CT scans of unique knee anatomy and guides in bone alignment, better position artificial patella(knee cap) and outperforms precisional surgery through MISS procedures.”
Robot-Assisted Hip Replacement Surgery in Dubai
Robot-assisted hip replacement is a revolutionary hip surgery used for total hip replacement.
The hip joint comprises of femur head and acetabulum component, which is a cup-like depression in the hip bone. The surgeon makes a personalized pre-operative plan to fix the artificial hip joint provisionally in the cup-like hollow acetabulum.
During the robotic hip replacement surgery, the surgeon locates a point on the hip with a Robotic-pen-like device to register the hip’s anatomy and align it according to the pre-operative plan. Then, the head of the femur一which is the ball is precisonally cut and a prosthetic head is drilled in the femoral component.
Next, the orientation of the acetabulum is registered, adjusted, and resurfaced with a robot to provide optimal internal biomechanical reconstruction. The prothetic joint is perfectly docked in the acetabulum cup-ball socket.
Finally, when the acetabulum is ready, and the surgeon is ready to seed the implant, the robotic arm holds the acetabulum at a precise angle to dock and stabilize the hip joint.
The Robot-assisted hip replacement surgery in Dubai is quicker, faster, and requires lesser rehab time.
What is the success rate of robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery in Dubai?
Presently, thousands of successful robot-assisted hip and knee replacement surgeries are done in Dubai. Although there is no specific data about the success rate, patients have observed a better range of motions, lesser joint friction, and greater stability with robot-assisted joint surgeries. On the other hand, the recovery is a bit faster, which means you get back to normal life faster.
Benifits of Robot-assisted surgeries
Dr Sabri highly appreciates the following benefits of Robot-assisted surgery for the patients and surgeon:
- It helps to configure bones in pre-set alignment
- It obtains a CT scan of unique bone anatomy
- It helps precisely position surgical tools
- The blood loss is lesser
- It helps in faster rehabilitation of knee or hip joints
- Patients feel better with Robo assisted joint surgeries
We have patients who once had a partial or total knee replacement in one knee and had Robot-assisted knee surgery in the other knee. They felt less pain, better rehabilitation, and improved knee mobility with Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery in Dubai.
What is the role of Dr Sabri in devising a perfect Robot-assisted Hip and knee Replacement surgery in Dubai?
No doubt, robot-assisted surgery is a technological revolution benefiting patients, but the most advanced robotic-arm technology requires additional expertise to perform successful knee and hip replacement procedures. Dr Sabri is a highly qualified consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Dubai with extensive experience performing crucial and complicated robot-assisted joint replacements.
The surgeon’s expertise is necessary to create an adept pre-surgery blueprint for hip and knee joint replacements.
He goes on to say, “Robot-assisted surgery helps in multiple ways. One is, it helps in aligning bones in pre-set alignment, which we had to align on the go in manual replacement surgery”.
So, if you are looking to have a hip or knee replacement, consult Dr Sabri to seek the best advice.
