Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar has witnessed a successful series of knee joint replacement surgeries using surgical robots for a group of patients in their fifth and sixth decades of life who were suffering from advanced knee joint wear and cartilage erosion. These conditions resulted in chronic pain that resisted conservative treatments, limited mobility, and difficulty in daily activities such as walking and climbing stairs, in addition to leg deformities.
The patients presented for evaluation at the clinic of Dr. Rabee Dannaoui, a consultant in orthopedic and joint surgery, who clinically assessed the cases and performed the necessary X-rays, revealing the presence of grade four joint wear.
After medically preparing the patients for this type of surgery, they underwent an advanced operation using robotic surgical technology. The robotic system was provided with each patient's specific information, as well as measurements of the knee joint structure to be implanted. This ensured highly accurate results that matched the individual knee's structure and surrounding tissues.
These procedures were performed under regional anesthesia, eliminating the need for general anesthesia. The surgeries were remarkably successful, and the patients were able to walk on the same day of the operation. They left the hospital three days after the procedure in good health.
The robot is the latest technology in the field of knee joint replacement, allowing for better visualization of the surgical site and precise bone sculpting during complex procedures. This helps correct deformities and determine the appropriate positions for artificial joints. The robot also provides better control during the operation, reduces the surgical time, minimizes post-operative pain, and eliminates its chronic causes. Moreover, it reduces blood loss during the surgery and shortens the patient's hospital stay. Utilizing robot-assisted technology can extend the expected lifespan of the artificial joints.
Dr. Rabee Dannaoui emphasizes that the use of robotic technology is not limited to total knee replacement but can also be employed in partial knee joint replacement and total hip joint replacement.
It's worth mentioning that this type of procedure relies on modern medical technology and highly trained medical staff, in alignment with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision of attracting specialized expertise by using the latest advanced medical techniques and equipment in the field.
