Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery:

The professor specializes in robotic knee replacement surgery, utilizing cutting-edge robotic systems to enhance precision, reduce recovery time, and improve patient outcomes.

Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery in Turkey

Continue moving with your new joint…

Robotic knee replacement surgery in Turkey involves cleaning diseased joint surfaces and replacing them with a new joint that allows for easy movement. Before the surgery, your legs will be specially cleaned and prepared for the procedure. A tourniquet device will be used to perform the surgery without any bleeding.

Enjoy years of reliable use with robotic technology…

The long-term success of total knee replacement surgery depends on the precise placement of the prosthesis, customized to the patient’s anatomy. Advanced robotic technology allows for nearly error-free procedures. Using the Mako system, we create a comprehensive map of your knee and plan for the most suitable implant placement in a virtual environment. The robotic arm prepares the prosthesis housing precisely according to the preoperative plan, ensuring accuracy. After cleaning the bone pores with pressurized washing, the implant is fixed in place using specialized bone cement, allowing harmonious function for years to come.

A comfortable, pain-free surgical experience awaits…

In the early postoperative period, tailored anesthesia ensures you feel almost no pain. The day after surgery, your doctor will help you sit on the edge of the bed and begin knee-strengthening exercises and range-of-motion activities. On the same day, you will take your first steps using a quad cane under medical supervision. By the second day, you’ll be more mobile, walking to the bathroom and hospital corridors. By the third day, you’ll only need to rest as necessary.

Walk on the first day of surgery…

By the fourth day post-surgery, you’ll be walking comfortably around the hospital corridors and ready for discharge with a home walker. Your doctor will allow you to shower and provide medications and exercises for the next 10 days. At your two-week checkup, your stitches will be removed, and your leg strength and knee mobility evaluated. You’ll also be cleared to use stairs and move freely around your home.

Back to work within a month post-surgery…

By the first month, you can discard walking aids and return fully to your daily life, enjoying the full benefits of your new joint.


Robotic Hip Replacement Surgery

Continue moving with your new joint…

Robotic hip replacement surgery in Turkey involves cleaning diseased joint surfaces and replacing them with a new joint for improved mobility. Pre-surgery preparation includes thorough leg cleaning and sterilization.

Reliable long-term function with robotic precision…

The success of robotic hip replacement surgery depends on the precise placement of the prosthesis tailored to the patient’s anatomy. Advanced technology enables nearly error-free procedures. Using preoperative CT imaging, a virtual replica of the hip joint is created, and surgery is simulated in a virtual environment. The Mako robot assists the surgeon in precisely preparing the implant site and placing the prosthesis for optimal alignment and function. The implant integrates seamlessly with the bone for lasting harmony and mobility.

Minimal incision, easier recovery…

A key advantage of robotic hip replacement is the ability to perform the surgery through a very small incision, facilitating a smoother and faster recovery process.

Comfortable, pain-free surgical experience…

Tailored anesthesia ensures minimal pain in the early postoperative period. The day after surgery, your doctor will help you sit up and take your first steps using a quad cane. By the second day, you’ll walk to the bathroom and hospital corridors with ease. By the fourth day, you’ll be ready for discharge with a home walker.

Back to work in a month…

At your two-week follow-up, your stitches will be removed, and your hip strength assessed. By the first month, you can leave your walking aids behind and fully embrace your daily activities, enjoying a pain-free, active life.
