Douglas, Ga – November 18, 2024 – Coffee Regional Medical Center is now offering robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery, providing patients with a highly advanced option for total knee, partial knee, and total hip replacements. This innovative technology uses advanced robotic systems to enhance the precision, accuracy, and personalization of joint replacement procedures, improving overall outcomes for patients.
Robotic-assisted joint replacement allows surgeons to create detailed, 3D plans based on each patient’s unique anatomy before entering the operating room. This personalized approach enables surgeons to make real-time adjustments during surgery, with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. As a result, patients may experience less pain, reduced soft tissue damage, and a faster recovery time compared to traditional joint replacement methods.
“Our goal is to provide patients with the best possible results, and robotic surgery allows us to do just that,” said Dr. Joshua Vickers orthopedic surgeon at Orthopedic Surgeons of Georgia. “With this technology, we are able to plan surgeries precisely and tailor each procedure to the individual needs of the patient, which we believe leads to better outcomes.”
Orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Steve Augustine and Dr. Joshua Vickers, from Orthopedic Surgeons of Georgia and Dr. James Barber of Southeastern Orthopaedics will be utilizing this state-of-the-art technology at Coffee Regional Medical Center, bringing advanced surgical options to the local community and offering patients precise, personalized care for their joint replacement needs.
While robotic-assisted surgery offers numerous benefits, it is important to note that it may not be the right choice for every patient. Each individual will undergo a comprehensive evaluation to determine if robotic surgery is suitable for their specific condition. A personalized surgical plan will be devised to ensure that the most appropriate approach is taken based on the patient’s unique needs and medical history.
The introduction of robotic-assisted surgery is particularly beneficial as the demand for joint replacement surgeries continues to grow. Studies have shown that this approach may lead to better outcomes, and we anticipate a more natural feeling with these joint replacements for many patients.
