Barunseang Hospital succeeded for the first time in artificial hip robot surgery with minimally invasive surgery
Jul 16, 2024
Balinsang Hospital announced that Um Sang-hyun, director of the Joint Center (orthopedic surgeon), succeeded in demonstrating the artificial hip joint surgery performed by applying the latest minimally invasive surgery (direct upper hip replacement) with an artificial joint surgery robot for the first time in Korea.
Hip artificial joints are selectively performed in the presence of hip diseases such as femoral neck fractures, osteoarthritis, and hematogenous necrosis of the femoral head. Hip artificial joint replacement is a deep joint that reaches the inside of the hip joint, and some muscles and tendons are incised according to the approach. As a result, there was a part that required some time to recover from pain and walking function after surgery. Accordingly, the medical community has continued efforts to improve early walking recovery and patient satisfaction by minimizing damage to muscles and tendons after surgery by developing various minimally invasive approaches.
Direct Superior Approach for Total Hip Arthroplasty was applied in this surgery. The surgical method is the latest minimally invasive hip surgery method developed to date and has not yet been widely applied in Korea.
In particular, the advantage is that pain reduction and rapid rehabilitation are possible after surgery compared to conventional surgical methods. Director Um Sang-hyun has already applied upper approach hip replacement surgery to hip arthroplasty for several years, confirming good results through actual clinical trials, and this time, he applied the surgery to artificial joint robots to incorporate the accuracy of robotic surgery.
Since minimally invasive upper access testicular replacement is a method of accessing the hip directly from the upper part of the hip joint through the femoral muscle, damage to the soft tissue and muscle tendon can be minimized. In particular, since surgery is possible without damaging the Illio-tibial band, which has an important effect on walking, faster recovery and rehabilitation are possible, and the fastest results can be obtained until returning to daily life with natural walking. In addition, the incision site is significantly reduced to less than half compared to the existing hip artificial joint surgery method, and surgical scars can also be minimized.
Director Eom Sang-hyun, who conducted the operation, said "For the first time in Korea, the latest minimally invasive surgery method, direct upper approach approach, and the demonstration of the operation with surgical robots were successful because there is a medical system at Barunseang Hospital that quickly accepts and applies the latest medical technology."It is very important to secure proper space and accuracy to insert artificial joints in hip surgery. Using surgical robots while minimizing incisions through minimally invasive methods enables accurate and precise surgery by finding hip joints located deep in the body. We believe that using robots in the future will enable safe and accurate customized hip joint surgery for individual patients, and we will be able to minimize complications or reoperation from bleeding."
