MAKO Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgical System
A major breakthrough in minimally invasive surgery
Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Sunnyvale offers robot-assisted surgery services, including the Mako™ Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgical System that enables a more predictable surgical experience when performing joint replacement surgery.
Robotic surgery – also called robot-assisted surgery – is a proven technique in which a surgeon performs surgery using a computer console to control very small instruments and a high-resolution camera attached to robotic arms.
Mako™ Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgical System
The surgeon works from the console within the operating room that uses 3D CT-based planning software so your surgeon can know more about your anatomy to create a personalized joint replacement surgical plan. In the operating room, your surgeon follows your personalized surgical plan while preparing the bone for the implant.
Conditions treated
The most frequent surgery with this technology, the Mako™ robot offers the benefits of more precision and shorter recovery time:

Benefits of Robotic Surgery
Robot-assisted surgery gives your surgeon greater precision and control over the surgical instruments than is possible with human movement alone. And compared to open surgery, it can offer additional patient benefits, including:
- Less pain and blood loss
- Less scarring, due to tiny surgical incisions
- Shorter recovery time and hospital stay
