Robotic Surgery in Westwood, NJ
At Pascack Valley Medical Center, our doctors pair expert surgical care with leading-edge technology to bring you personalized robotic surgery treatments that work. Our surgery unit is home to the Mako Robotic Arm, and we proudly use the Da Vinci System — a high-tech, minimally invasive robotic system that aids our doctors in the operating room. Minimally invasive surgery offers patients faster recoveries, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stays so you can return home and get back to doing the things you love.
About the Mako Robotic Arm
The Mako Robotic Arm is a machine that aids surgeons when performing total knee, total hip, and partial knee replacement surgeries. This robotic-arm assisted surgery machine uses 3D computerized technology (CT) planning, AccuStop haptic technology, and insightful data analytics to ensure excellent outcomes for minimally invasive procedures.
Through CT-based 3D modeling of a patient’s bone anatomy, surgeons can create a personalized surgical plan and identify the correct implant size, orientation and alignment for each patient’s unique anatomy. The Mako arm also enables surgeons to virtually modify the surgical plan during operation, as well as assist surgeons in executing bone resections.
About the Da Vinci Surgical System
The Da Vinci System is a robotic surgical platform designed to enable complex procedures of all types to be performed through tiny incisions. This system is used for a variety of surgeries, including general, bariatric, gynecological, and urologic procedures. Using the Da Vinci Surgical Conditions we can treat conditions like hernias, ovarian cysts, and obesity.
When a surgeon uses the Da Vinci System, their movements are replicated by the system in real-time. The system cannot be programmed, nor can it move on its own without the surgeon’s input. Put simply, the surgeon is in control of the machine 100% of the time, and the system cannot operate without the surgeon.
