Robotic-assisted Surgery : Knee & Hip Replacement Surgery Program

Mako SmartRobotics™ is a robotic-assisted surgical technology designed to enhance precision and improve outcomes in knee and hip replacement surgeries. Procedures are performed by Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital's team of expert orthopedic surgeons in Bangkok, Thailand. These procedures include:

Who is robotic-assisted surgery suitable for?

Patients with knee osteoarthritis:
Those with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis experiencing chronic pain in the knee that cannot be managed with medication or other therapies.
Patients with hip osteoarthritis:
Individuals with hip degeneration causing chronic pain or significantly affecting daily activities.
Patients seeking high-precision surgery:
Ideal for those who require highly accurate procedures, such as individuals with abnormal bone structure or joint deformities
Patients seeking faster recovery:
Robotic-assisted surgery offers a faster recovery due to its high precision. This minimizes blood loss and reduces damage to surrounding muscles, tendons, and tissues, allowing patients to heal more quickly and return to normal activities sooner.
Patients at higher risk from conventional surgery:
In certain cases, patients with underlying health conditions or those with conditions making open surgery less safe or ideal, such as advanced age, soft tissue injury, or greater likelihood of infection, may benefit from the reduced trauma and enhanced accuracy of robotic-assisted procedures.

Smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery. All under the care of experienced specialists with advanced surgical expertise.

Personalized surgical planning

Uses 3D CT-based analysis of each patient’s unique anatomy to create a personalized surgical plan.
Provides precise evaluation of bone alignment, tissue density, and joint angles for optimal accuracy.

Advanced Safety System

The Mako robotic system uses AccuStop™ Haptic Technology to create a “haptic boundary” that automatically stops the surgical tool if it moves beyond a predefined safe zone, preventing overcutting.
Haptic technology continuously monitors and controls bone position, keeping the surgical tools within safe limits to protect surrounding soft tissue.
Compared to conventional surgery, it significantly reduces damage to bones and soft tissues.

Less pain and fewer complications

Up to 55.4% less pain compared to conventional surgery.
Reduced need for pain medication. 30% reduction in need for revision surgery.

Faster recovery

Recovery within 1–2 days with a shorter hospital stay.
Quicker return to daily activities with improved mobility.

Long-term outcomes from a 5-year study show a 95.6% survivorship rate for robotic-assisted total knee replacements.
