Surgical advancements at Hospital San Juan de Dios

Overview

Hospital San Juan de Dios del Aljarafe, part of the Andalusian Health Service, has advanced its orthopedic surgical capabilities through new techniques and technology.

Initially, the hospital successfully performed ten bilateral hip arthroplasties. This method involves implanting prostheses in both hip joints during a single operation to reduce waiting times, shorten hospital stays, and accelerate patient mobility recovery. The patients involved were aged between 25 and 60.

Subsequently, the hospital implemented the Mako SmartRobotics™ system, marking the first use of this technology for knee and hip prosthesis in Andalusia. This system utilizes 3D planning based on CT scans to reconstruct patient anatomy, allowing surgeons to execute highly personalized surgical plans with the assistance of a robotic arm that provides real-time control and safety limits.
