EDMOND, Okla. (OBV) – A state-of-the-art robot is revolutionizing orthopedic surgery at INTEGRIS Health Edmond.
INTEGRIS Health Edmond successfully integrated Stryker Mako, a cutting-edge surgical robot into its orthopedic surgical operations, and the results have been astounding, according to INTEGRIS doctors.
The surgical team at the INTEGRIS in Edmond has used the Stryker Mako in a series of surgeries and the results have been remarkable, according to INTEGRIS Health officials.
INTEGRIS officials noted that patients who underwent surgeries that utilized Stryker Mako experienced shorter hospital stays, minimized post-operative pain and faster return to their daily activities.
“Our commitment to delivering the best possible care to our patients has driven us to adopt this state-of-the-art surgical robot,” said Jon Rule, chief hospital executive at INTEGRIS Health Edmond Hospital. “We are dedicated to staying at the forefront of medical technology to provide the highest quality of care and to ensure the best possible care for its patients.”
Using the Stryker Mako provides the following key advantages to surgical procedures:
- Precision: The robot’s high-definition imaging and precise instruments allow surgeons to perform intricate procedures with unparalleled accuracy, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
- Minimized Invasiveness: Smaller incisions mean reduced scarring and a quicker return to normal activities for patients.
- Enhanced Visualization: Surgeons benefit from 3D visualization, providing an immersive and detailed view of the surgical site.
- Improved Ergonomics: Surgeons can operate comfortably, reducing fatigue and enhancing their ability to focus during lengthy procedures.
David Rhodes, M.D., a fellowship-trained board-certified orthopedic surgeon at INTEGRIS Health Medical Group Orthopedics Edmond, is an expert in shoulder, knee and hip replacement surgery. He said the Stryker Mako has been transformational.
“The Stryker Mako robot has transformed the way we approach joint replacement surgery,” Rhodes said. “Its precision allows the surgeon to place the implant in the appropriate position and alignment every time. We have seen our patients achieve better results in their recovery and greater satisfaction.”
Gerardo Myrin M.D., a board-certified, fellowship-trained hip and knee orthopedic surgeon with INTEGRIS Health Medical Group Orthopedics Central, has performed over 1,300 robotic hip and knee surgeries. He concurred on Stryker Mako’s effectiveness in surgical procedures.
“This technology allows for the placement of the correct implant in the ideal position for less pain and better outcomes as well as fewer complications. The Stryker Mako system helps to achieve excellent, reproducible results for our patients,” Myrin said.
