Deep Robotics Versus Navigation in Hip Replacement
Description
In this presentation, Kamal Deep discusses advances in hip arthroplasty at the largest elective arthroplasty center in the UK, located in Scotland. Highlighting that the center is equipped with three robotic systems and five navigation systems, he emphasizes the importance of these technologies for training new surgeons. He shares insights into the surgical techniques for hip replacement, focusing on achieving a durable and well-functioning hip using navigational and robotic technologies.
He clarifies how these systems differ, with navigation serving primarily as a guidance tool and robotics representing an evolution that allows for more automation in surgical procedures. Deep outlines step-by-step techniques for both robotic and navigated surgeries, including patient positioning and anatomical registration, while showcasing the pre-operative planning capabilities that allow surgeons to visualize the outcomes before making surgical decisions.
He presents data from studies he has conducted, showcasing the superior precision and predictability of robotic-assisted surgeries compared to traditional methods, emphasizing the benefits of meticulous planning and technology integration. Deep concludes by posing a question of patient choice in surgical outcomes, advocating for the higher accuracy provided by robotic technology, even at the cost of slightly longer procedure times.
