The University of Phayao Hoapital has elevated their treatment methods by incorporating robotic assisted total knee arthroplasty, resulting in successful outcomes.
The medical team from the Orthopedic Surgery Department at the University of Phayao Hospital has elevated their treatment methods by incorporating robotic assisted total knee arthroplasty, resulting in successful outcomes.




          On September 9th, 2024, the University of Phayao Hospital's School of Medicine successfully performed the province's first "Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty." This highlights their excellence in specialized medical care, particularly in knee and hip replacements. Dr. Thitinun Tarathipayakul, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee and hip replacements, led the surgery with the assistance of an anesthesiology team and operating room nurses. Dr. Thitinun, who specializes in knee and hip replacements, explains the advantages of using robotic technology in surgery, which can greatly enhance patient outcomes.




The use of robotic assisted surgery has been shown to significantly increase precision in medical procedures.


          One example of this is robotic assisted total knee arthroplasty, which is becoming increasingly popular due to its numerous advantages over traditional surgery. These advantages include personalized preoperative planning, improved precision, and a reduction in surgical errors and complications. At the University of Phayao Hospital, the CORI Surgical System by Smith+Nephew is utilized for this procedure. This advanced system utilizes patient-specific data to generate a 3D model of the bone, allowing for precise surgical planning and cutting with an accuracy of up to 1 millimeter or 1 degree. This level of precision is difficult to achieve with traditional methods. Additionally, the system aids in adjusting the tension of surrounding ligaments and muscles, resulting in a more natural knee movement and a decreased risk of injury to surrounding tissues.




Limitations of robotic surgery


          However, robotic assisted total knee arthroplasty has its limitations. While insurance typically covers the costs of knee implants and surgery, there are additional costs associated with the use of robotics that may not be covered. Therefore, it is important for patients to consult with the hospital about their insurance coverage before making a decision about surgery. It should also be noted that even with robotic assistance, the expertise of skilled surgeons is still crucial for the planning and execution of the operation. Patients can schedule consultations and evaluations with Dr. Thitinun and his team at the University of Phayao Hospital every Tuesday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Specialized Orthopedic Surgery Clinic services





          The University of Phayao Hospital offers specialized orthopedic services, catering to a range of bone and joint conditions such as fractures, dislocations, total knee and hip replacements, osteoporosis, and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) issues. Patients can easily reach out to the hospital for consultations or treatment by calling 0 5446 6666 ext. 7304 or 7211 during office hours.




         Robotic assisted total knee arthroplasty is currently considered one of the most effective options for patients with osteoarthritis. This advanced technology allows for increased surgical precision, resulting in improved outcomes and reduced complications. It is highly recommended that patients consult with a specialist to determine the most suitable treatment for their specific condition.
