The Robotic Surgery Department at Great Falls Hospital is dedicated to providing comprehensive and advanced surgical services to support the precise treatment of various medical conditions. We offer the largest complement of state-of-the-art robotic surgical systems in Montana, including the da Vinci Xi surgical system, the MAKO Robotic-Arm-Assist Orthopedic System, and Zimmer Biomet’s ROSA® Knee System. With a team of experienced surgeons and technologists, the Robotic Surgery Department is committed to delivering high-quality and personalized care to meet each patient’s unique needs.
Stryker MAKO Robotic-Arm-Assist Orthopedic System
Our surgeons perform robotic hip and knee replacements using the advanced Stryker MAKO Robotic-Arm-Assist Orthopedic System. This procedure involves a CT Scan to create a 3-D model of the patient’s joint. Dr. Blackman skillfully guides the robotic arm to remove only the damaged tissue precisely and place the implants with exceptional accuracy.
Zimmer Biomet’s ROSA® Knee System
Dr. Pike and Dr. Bryant utilize Zimmer Biomet’s ROSA® Knee System, which combines robotic technology with industry-leading knee implants to help surgeons personalize surgical procedures for their patients. ROSA® Knee is a robotically-assisted surgical system designed to help perform total knee replacement surgery. It includes features to assist with bone resections and assess the state of soft tissues in order.
The da Vinci® Xi™ System
The da Vinci Surgical System enables surgeons to perform operations with enhanced precision through a combination of 3D high-definition vision, specialized instruments with mechanical wrists that mimic human movement, and computer software that minimizes hand tremors. This robotic technology doesn’t operate independently but rather translates the surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, more precise actions inside the patient’s body. The system’s highly magnified viewing capabilities and advanced instruments allow surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater control and dexterity than traditional techniques.
The da Vinci Xi System has broader capabilities and can be used across a wide spectrum of minimally invasive surgical procedures and has been optimized for multi-quadrant surgeries (procedures in which instruments must be able to reach up and down and across the abdomen and chest).
The da Vinci Xi System’s key features include an overhead instrument arm architecture designed to facilitate anatomical access from virtually any position, an endoscope digital architecture that creates a simpler, more compact design with improved visual definition and clarity, an ability to attach the endoscope to any arm, providing flexibility for visualizing the surgical site, smaller, thinner arms with newly designed joints that offer a greater range of motion than ever before, and longer instrument shafts designed to give surgeons greater operative reach.
How Can Robotic Surgery Benefit Me?
Robotic surgery represents a significant advancement in minimally invasive surgical techniques. Unlike traditional open surgery, robotic procedures utilize smaller incisions, resulting in numerous clinical benefits for patients. Robotic systems enhance surgical precision while maintaining the benefits of minimally invasive techniques, representing an important evolution in surgical care.
Compared to conventional open surgical approaches, robotic surgery typically offers:
- Shorter hospital stays
- Reduced blood loss
- Lower complication rates
- Decreased need for narcotic pain medication
- Faster recovery times
- Smaller incisions with minimal scarring
Whether general procedures, complex surgeries, or specialized interventions, the Robotic Surgery Department at Great Falls Hospital prioritizes precision, safety, and patient comfort to ensure the best possible outcomes in Great Falls, MT, to facilitate implant positioning intraoperatively.
