Robotic-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery at Mercy

If you're considering joint replacement surgery, you want your new joint to feel as natural as possible. That's why at Mercy, we use robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery to tailor knee and hip replacements to your unique anatomy. By embracing new robotic-assisted technology, we can improve the precision, safety and outcomes of orthopedic procedures. Ask your Mercy doctor if you think you could benefit from this procedure. 

What Is Robotic-Assisted Surgery? 

With robotic-assisted surgery, imaging is used to create a high-definition 3D model of your anatomy. This allows your surgeon to more precisely target damaged cartilage and bone. Robotic-assisted surgery can help your care team achieve better outcomes, including faster recovery times, minimal scarring and less pain overall. 

How Does Robotic-Assisted Surgery Work? 

During surgery, your surgeon will use a robot to help them perform minimally invasive techniques on your knee. Every movement of the robotic system is precisely and safely controlled by your Mercy doctor. 

Benefits of Orthopedic Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Benefits of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery include: 

  • Faster recovery and return to normal activities
  • Greater surgical precision
  • Less pain
  • Optimized implant positioning
  • Protection of healthy cartilage and bone
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Smaller incisions

*Robotic hip replacement is only offered in select Mercy communities.
