SMART Robotic Surgeon ™ | Patient “Bespoke” Pre-Operative Plan
This 1.5-minute video highlights how a bespoke pre-operative plan is developed for patient hip replacements using the Stryker MAKO robotic system.
Here are the key takeaways from the demonstration:
- CT Scan Imagery: The process begins with a standard CT scan of the patient's hip.
- 3D Virtual Modeling: Using the CT data, the MAKO software generates a highly detailed, virtual 3D model of the patient's unique hip anatomy.
- Bespoke Surgical Blueprint: Surgeon Mr. Nadim Aslam reviews this model on screen to map out an individualized surgical plan. The software allows him to adjust the alignment, size, and positioning of the implant with extreme precision prior to entering the operating room.
- Patient Benefits: Creating this tailored blueprint helps minimize the risk of post-surgery implant dislocation and enhances the overall longevity and durability of the replacement joint.
