Robotic Surgery Q&A

What is robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery offered at Manhattan Orthopedics by Dr. Dushey and Dr. Varma. It uses robotics harms and tiny instruments to complete the procedure, along with a high-definition camera providing magnified, enhanced 3D views of the surgical area. 

Your surgeon guides the robotic arms using an innovative console to ensure optimal accuracy and precision.

Dr. Dushey completes joint replacement surgeries, while Dr. Varma focuses on robotic-assisted spine surgeries. 

What are the benefits of robotic surgery?

The perks you can expect when choosing robotic surgery at Manhattan Orthopedics include:

  • Highly effective, long-lasting results
  • Smaller incisions
  • Less pain
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Less bleeding
  • Low risk of complications
  • Shorter recovery times
  • Minimal scarring

Robotic surgery is minimally invasive, so the downtime required is less than traditional open surgeries. Robotic-assisted surgeries have overall success rates of 94-100%.

Which conditions can robotic surgery treat?

Manhattan Orthopedics offers robotics surgeries to treat the following conditions:

  • Spine injuries
  • ACL tears
  • Arthritis degeneration
  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Biceps tear
  • Dislocated shoulder
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Herniated disc
  • Hip replacement
  • Knee replacement
  • Knee pain
  • Labrum tear
  • Meniscus tear
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Sports injuries

Your specialist may first suggest you try conservative treatments, such as medications, physical therapy, or injections. However, they offer robotic surgery if other options haven’t provided relief or your injury is severe. 

What should I expect during robotic surgery?

You receive anesthesia before the procedure to help you fall asleep or eliminate discomfort. Dr. Dushey or Dr. Varma makes several small incisions and inserts specialized surgical equipment, including robotic arms and a tiny camera, to complete the procedure. 

Afterward, they close the incisions, and the Manhattan Orthopedics experts monitor you in a recovery area. 

What happens after the procedure?

You might be able to go home the same day as surgery or the next day. Follow your post-surgery instructions to ensure optimal results. 

Ice the affected area, complete physical therapy, and take any medications as directed. Eat nutritious foods, get plenty of rest, and avoid intense activity until you’ve healed. Complete healing may take several weeks or months.
