Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital Orthopedics Minimizes Complications with Cutting-Edge Technology

‘MAKO HIP’ Robot and Minimally Invasive Two-Headed Incision Surgery

Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital announced on the 24th that Professor Park Kyung-soon of the Department of Orthopedics has begun performing cutting-edge surgery combining the precise ‘MAKO HIP’ robot with minimally invasive two-incision surgery.

Through this combined surgery using advanced technology, it is expected to revolutionize patients' surgical experience by reducing pain and recovery time and minimizing complications.

‘MAKO HIP’ is a robot-assisted navigation surgical robot. It significantly improves the accuracy of the insertion angle during acetabular cup placement and minimizes bone loss through precise reaming.

In particular, it can greatly reduce complications such as dislocation and provide more effective treatment for patients with complex anatomical structures.

Additionally, the ‘minimally invasive two-incision surgery’ minimizes the incision area on the body, shortening pain and recovery time, and has the advantage of reducing damage to the soft tissues around the hip joint. These results enable faster recovery for patients and facilitate the postoperative rehabilitation process, thereby improving quality of life.

Professor Park Kyung-soon emphasized, “The introduction of the ‘MAKO HIP’ robot represents a further advancement in patient-centered treatment methods and demonstrates a strong commitment to providing better medical services,” adding, “Through this, patients can expect safe and effective treatment along with faster recovery.”
