VTV.vn - Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi carried surgery using robotic techniques for joint replacement and neurosurgery.

The system to aid surgery is believed to be one of the most advanced in the world. With the joint replacement robot named Mako, the surgeon can determine the 3 dimensional placement locations based on the structure and patient's anatomy. Mako helps to control and support bone cutting and artificial joint replacement. Meanwhile, neurosurgery robot can be used for surgery treating Parkinson's, skull base tumours, intraventricular tumours and epilepsy. This approach provides the accuracy and simplifies surgical steps for doctors. The robotic arms mimic human arm movement to carry out the procedure. The technology marks a turning point in the application of advanced science and technology in medicine in the country.
