Frequently Asked Questions about Mako Robotic Surgery What makes Stryker Mako robotic surgery different from traditional surgery?

The Stryker Mako robotic surgery system combines 3D CT imaging with haptic technology for unprecedented surgical precision. Unlike traditional surgery, it creates a personalised surgical plan based on your unique anatomy and allows the surgeon to make adjustments in real-time during the procedure. The robotic arm provides boundaries that help the surgeon achieve precise bone removal and implant placement that would be difficult to match with manual techniques alone.

Will the robot perform my surgery?

No, the robot does not perform the surgery independently. Your orthopaedic surgeon is in control at all times. The Mako system is a tool that enhances the surgeon’s skill and precision. It provides real-time feedback and helps guide the surgeon’s hand during the procedure, but your surgeon directs every surgical decision and movement.

How long is recovery after Mako robotic joint replacement?

While recovery varies for each patient, many people experience a faster recovery with Mako robotic surgery compared to traditional methods. Most patients can begin walking with assistance the day after surgery and return home within 1-2 days. Full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks for a partial knee replacement, 6-8 weeks for a total knee replacement, and 4-6 weeks for a hip replacement. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines based on your procedure and individual health factors.

Does insurance cover robotic surgery?

Most insurance plans that cover traditional joint replacement surgery also cover robot-assisted procedures. The Mako system is FDA-approved and widely recognised as an established surgical technology. Our financial counsellors at CARE Hospitals HITEC City will work with you to verify your coverage and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs before your procedure.
