Robotic Surgery at Astria Sunnyside Hospital

Astria Sunnyside Hospital offers advanced robotic surgery using the state-of-the-art Intuitive Da Vinci Xi system for general surgery and gynecological surgeries, and Mako SmartRobotics for hip and knee orthopedic surgeries, enhancing the precision and effectiveness of minimally invasive surgeries.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery 

• Minimally Invasive: Incisions are generally much smaller with robotic surgery, resulting in less scarring and a shorter recovery period.
• Reduced Blood Loss: The precision of robotic instruments minimizes blood loss during surgery.
• Lower Infection Risk: Smaller incisions reduce the risk of infection.
• Faster Recovery: Patients experience shorter recovery times, allowing them to return to their daily activities sooner.

Da Vinci Xi by Intuitive

The Da Vinci Xi system provides surgeons with high-definition 3D vision, specialized instruments to facilitate precise dissection and reconstruction deep within the body.

Mako SmartRobotics™ by Stryker

Mako SmartRobotics™ uses a three dimensional model of the patient's specific anatomy to create a personalized surgical plan using CT imagery of the patient's hip or knee. The Mako robotic arm assists guides the surgeon to the exact locations defined in the plan, ensuring minimal impact to surrounding tissue.

Orthopedic Robot-Assisted Surgeries:

• Partial knee replacement
• Total knee replacement
• Total hip replacement
