Irving resident receives knee replacement via innovative robotic system
Irving, TX — A 52-year-old Irving woman is the first patient to receive a total knee replacement by a new robotic surgery system at Medical City Las Colinas. The leading-edge system comes with a plethora of advantages for the patient and the physician that amount to faster recovery, shorter hospital stays and fewer potential complications. The system also helps Medical City Las Colinas remain competitive as robotic-assisted surgery becomes the new industry standard.
Additionally, the robotic system features:
- Improved precision and alignment: Surgeons can more accurately place implants which may improve joint function and increase longevity.
- Less tissue trauma: More precise bone cuts help protect soft tissue, which may lead to reduced post-surgery pain and swelling.
- Minimally invasive approach: Some procedures can be performed with smaller incisions, which lowers the risk of infection and leads to less scarring.
“This enhanced technology allows Medical City Las Colinas to uphold our commitment to offering the most innovative care,” says Christina Mathis CEO, Medical City Las Colinas. “It’s another reason why our community turns to Medical City Las Colinas as the destination of choice for orthopedic excellence.”
The orthopedic team at Medical City Las Colinas now has four robotic surgery systems to help focus on providing the best, individualized solutions for patients following an injury or illness.
