TIANJIN, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- Doctors at Beichen Hospital of Nankai University in Tianjin performed a robot-assisted knee replacement procedure on Thursday.
The procedure was assisted by the Mako robotic arm, which works with a patient-specific 3D CT-based surgical plan.
According to doctors at the hospital, robot-assisted surgery can improve surgical precision and allow for more personalized treatment, while potentially reducing surgical risks and supporting postoperative recovery.
