Latest robotic-assisted knee and hip surgery available in Warrington, Cheshire

22 October 2026: People across Cheshire requiring knee and hip replacements can now access the latest generation robotic assisted surgery, which enhances precision and personalisation.

Now available at Spire Cheshire Hospital, Mako robotic-assisted surgery supports surgeons by creating a personalised surgical plan based on each patient's unique anatomy. Using a 3D CT-based model, the technology enables surgeons to plan procedures with greater accuracy and assists them during surgery, helping to optimise implant positioning while preserving healthy bone and tissue.

Patients undergoing Mako-assisted joint replacement surgery can benefit from a highly tailored approach to treatment, which is minimally invasive and can enhance recovery times.

The technology will be used by Spire Cheshire Hospital's experienced orthopaedic consultants, who have undergone specialist training in robotic-assisted joint replacement procedures.

Mr Greville Farrar, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Spire Cheshire Hospital, said: " Mr Greville Farrar, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Spire Cheshire Hospital, said: "The Mako surgical system represents an exciting development in joint replacement surgery, enabling us to offer robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery and, for the first time, robotic-assisted hip replacement surgery to our patients. The system allows us to create a patient specific surgical plan and provides real-time data during the procedure, helping us achieve a high level of accuracy. Ultimately, this enables us to deliver personalised care tailored to each patient's individual needs."

Ben White, Hospital Director at Spire Cheshire Hospital, said: "We are delighted to introduce Mako robotic-assisted surgery at Spire Cheshire Hospital. This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to providing patients across Warrington and the wider Cheshire area access to the latest healthcare technologies and outstanding clinical outcomes. By introducing Mako, we are empowering our orthopaedic consultants with advanced tools that support precision and personalisation in patient care."

The arrival of Mako robotic-assisted surgery strengthens Spire Cheshire Hospital's orthopaedic offering and further enhances the range of treatments available to patients seeking expert musculoskeletal care.
