Advanced Robotic Surgery at UH Portage Medical Center

State-of-the-Art Robotic Technology

UH Portage Medical Center utilizes cutting-edge robotics to assist with various surgeries in Portage County. The Mako Robotic-Arm is an advanced innovation in orthopedic surgery that is transforming the way joint replacement procedures are performed. And, with the increasing need for knee and hip replacements due to normal wear-and-tear, sports injuries and overuse injuries, Mako technology is enhancing the joint replacement experience for patients of all ages.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Robotic surgery is minimally invasive, performed through several tiny incisions. Compared to other minimally invasive techniques, the robotic system offers surgeons greater precision and range of motion, as well as a superior view of the surgical area. This combination of control and access ensures patients receive the best possible care with less pain and a quicker recovery.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery or Why Choose Robotic Surgery

In comparison to open surgery, robotic surgery offers all the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, including:

• Smaller incisions
• Less scarring
• Less pain
• Faster recovery
• Lower risk of infection

Robotic surgery makes minimally invasive procedures possible for more patients. Previously, patients needing complex procedures had only one option: open surgery. Thanks to the flexibility and access provided by robotic surgery, many of these patients can now have minimally invasive procedures instead.

Robotic Surgery Procedures

Our surgeons use robotic surgery to treat a range of health conditions, including:

• Total & Partial Knee Replacement
• Hip Replacement
