What our patients say

I had read about robotic-assisted surgery and had no qualms about having the very latest procedure. Mr Goswami and Mr Makrides performed the operation and I left hospital three days later. 10 days later, I was able to walk without crutches and had total confidence in the joint.

Read Veronica's full testimonial

Being an engineer, I thought the robot looked like the better option! I had excellent care from all of the staff at Spire Little Aston Hospital. My recovery was fast and I was out of the hospital the next day!

Read Michael's full testimonial

Recovery has been good with virtually no pain from the hip itself; I stopped my painkillers just three weeks after my operation. I now have two legs the same length (my left leg was nearly an inch shorter before surgery!).

What to expect if you choose Mako

Getting back on your feet

All patients undergoing Mako surgery are invited to our ‘Joint School’, an educational session held at Spire Little Aston Hospital, a few weeks before surgery is planned to take place, this session will go into more detail of what to expect before, during and after joint replacement surgery.

Before surgery

The journey begins with a CT scan of the joint, which is used to generate a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy. This model is loaded into the Mako system software and used to create a personalised preoperative plan. This 3D model is used by the surgeons to determine how much of your joint needs to be removed and where to precisely place the new implant.

During the procedure

In theatre, the surgeon is always in full control, with Mako assisting. When the surgeon prepares the joint for the new implant, Mako guides them within a pre-defined area using real-time inter-operative feedback and prevents moving outside planned boundaries. This enables the high degree of precision and accuracy in placing implants.

Following surgery

Getting you back on the move is our priority. Working alongside your Orthopaedic surgeon, our team of Perform Physiotherapists will deliver a bespoke care plan to get you back on your feet. You are visited after surgery and a physiotherapist will assess your progress, provide advice and post-operative exercises.

When you’re back home

Following your discharge home, you are invited to our Perform Physiotherapy department where a course of treatment will be designed to aid recovery. Typically, this is a variety of exercise therapy, strengthening exercises and advice to build confidence and increase your mobility.

"Robotic assistance is a real step forwards allowing me to deliver the best knee replacements that I can whilst individually tailoring to my patients’ anatomy. The results, so far, speak for themselves."
