Kazakhstan Begins World-class Robotic Orthopaedic Surgeries

ASTANA, June 8 (Bernama-Qazinform) -- The hospital of the Medical Centre of the Presidential Administration of Kazakhstan has started performing orthopaedic surgeries using the Mako robotic system, one of the most advanced technologies in global traumatology and orthopaedics, Qazinform News Agency reports.

Recognised as a flagship in robot-assisted surgery, the system is widely used in leading clinics in the United States (US) and Europe.

More than 1.5 million surgeries have already been performed worldwide using this technology.

Its effectiveness and safety are supported by more than 500 scientific studies.

The system has been installed in more than 45 countries, making it one of the most extensively studied and proven systems in orthopaedics.

Before surgery, a personalised 3D model of the patient's joint is created, allowing surgeons to plan every detail of the procedure.

During the operation, the robot guides instrument movements, ensuring accuracy, reducing the risk of implant misplacement and minimising soft tissue damage.

This leads to safer procedures, more consistent outcomes and faster recovery times.

Studies worldwide have shown greater accuracy in implant placement, reduced tissue trauma and a lower risk of complications, shorter rehabilitation periods, quicker returns to normal activities, and an overall improvement in treatment quality for patients.

Traumatologists at the hospital have undergone specialised training and have already begun performing surgeries using the robotic system.
