The West Palm Beach VA Healthcare System (WPBVAHCS) is excited to announce the new Mako Robot to surgical options at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center!
The robotic-assisted surgery represents the newest major technological advancement in hip and knee reconstructive surgery. With the skilled experts and savvy robot, the procedure significantly enhances the precision of both the necessary bone cuts and the placement of the prostheses in their ideal anatomic landmarks to a degree not possible with the conventional methods.
Veterans now experience improved post-operative pain in the short-term, a faster recovery, an earlier discharge from the hospital, and a decrease in risk for revision surgery compared to the conventional methods.
