• Possibility of Single Site Robotics
• More Precise
• Faster Return to Normal Daily Activities
• Potentially Better Clinical Outcomes

Robotic Surgery: More than a Machine

Our expert teams of orthopedic surgeons  offer robotic-assisted surgery for knee replacements - a robot's accuracy and a surgeon's expertise. By utilizing robotic-assisted surgery for joint replacements, patients may experience less pain and a faster recovery because of more consistent outcomes. At Finley Hospital, our team of orthopedic surgeons use the CORI and VELYS systems during robotic-assisted knee replacements.

The da Vinci Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery by putting a surgeon's hands in complete control of the state-of-the-art robotic platform. Its 3D high-definition vision system reads the surgeons hand to assist in performing routine and complex surgeries with better vision. Allowing for bendability and flexibility far greater than the human hand, da Vinci robotic surgery delivers precise movement, dexterity and control.

The Right Robotic Surgery for You

Whether you are fighting cancer, struggling with obesity or chronic pain, robotic-assisted surgery presents the surgical solution to many serious health conditions.

The CORI and VELYS systems are used for robotic-assisted knee replacements.

The CORI Surgical System is an advancement in the way orthopedic surgeons perform partial and total knee replacement. This handheld device works in conjunction with your surgeon's skilled hands to achieve accurate positioning of components during planning and surgery. The benefits of this surgical system include:

• A unique plan: With 3D modeling, you get a surgical plan that's customized to your unique anatomy. This means your surgeon can perform your procedure efficiently and more accurately than traditional knee replacement surgery.
• A natural fit: With a robotics-assisted procedure, your surgeon can help you keep more of your natural bone and ligaments, including the ACL. This means your body can maintain more of its natural rhythm and step.
• A wide selection: Your surgeon is choosing from the widest selection of knee implants. This means your surgeon can choose the implant best suited to you and made from materials that are designed to last. 

The VELYS robotic-assisted solution uses a variety of advanced technologies to ensure the surgeon has the information and tools needed to perform a highly accurate and precise knee replacement. This solution is designed to:

• Aid your surgeon by accessing state-of-the-art technology to provide insights for real-time decision making.
• Help your surgeon remove the damaged bone with accuracy. This robotic-assisted device does not move or operate on its own.
• Use an infrared camera and optical trackers to help your surgeon gather the necessary data about your anatomy to achieve a high level of precision.

The da Vinci robot is used in several surgical specialties and conditions including:

• Gynecological Surgery
• Gallbladder Surgery
• Urologic Surgery
