Robotic Surgery With Mako SmartRobotics™
Townsen Memorial Health System offers Mako SmartRobotics™ at both of our Houston-area hospitals. Mako is a robotic-arm assisted surgical system used in joint replacement and spine surgery. Your surgeon plans the procedure in advance using a scan of your own anatomy, then uses the system to carry out that plan during surgery. The robotic arm does not perform the surgery. Your surgeon remains in control throughout, using the system as a tool to guide their work.
