During minimally invasive robot-assisted hip replacement surgery, the surgeon uses a robotic surgical system. While viewing 3D images of the surgical area, the surgeon performs the hip replacement using tiny tools held by robotic arms, which can offer greater precision and dexterity. The surgeon controls all of the robot’s movements from a computer console nearby. Scripps offers robot-assisted hip replacement surgery at Scripps Mercy Hospital and Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.
