Woodlands Hospital offers private Mako® robotic-arm assisted knee surgery to patients across Darlington and the wider area
Opting for robotic surgery could also mean less pain after your procedure and an improved recovery time.
Within our team of experienced orthopaedic surgeons at Woodlands, a number of them offer knee surgery using the Mako® robot. These include:
Mako® technology was designed to help surgeons provide a personalised surgical experience. Each surgical plan has been based on a patient's individual and specific diagnosis and anatomy.
Each of the above orthopaedic surgeons offer private outpatient appointments for patients seeking advice and consultation for problems/concerns relating to their knee. The team are equipped to investigate, diagnose and treat conditions that are causing pain and discomfort to this area. These private appointments give patients the reassurance of being seen quickly, and the peace of mind of having fast access to any further treatment, tests and results if required.
Although the term 'robotic surgery' may suggest otherwise, our experienced consultant orthopaedic surgeons are still fully in control throughout the entire procedure. The Mako® system aids the surgeon, it doesn't replace them.
The Mako® is a robotic tool that allows our orthopaedic surgeons to perform knee replacement surgery with greater accuracy and precision than is possible with traditional joint replacement techniques. It assists the surgeon by combining its innovative technology with the skills and expertise they already have.

Research shows that knee function can improve more quickly after robotic-arm assisted total knee replacement than with traditional methods.2
One study of partial knee replacements found that 9 out of 10 patients were walking without aid after three weeks. After six weeks, 85% were back at work.4
Studies have found that patients undergoing robotic-arm assisted knee replacement surgery reported less pain in the days and weeks following the operation1 as well as the six months following.2
Studies have shown that Mako® can help the surgeon place the implant more precisely. Precision in implantation is a significant factor in the success of a knee replacement.5
Mako® gives your surgeon greater control over the procedure and establishes boundaries to protect the healthy parts of your knee.6
One study found that 91% of people who had undergone robotic-arm assisted surgery were either satisfied or very satisfied five years after surgery. 7
