Revolutionizing Knee Replacement Surgery: Blessing Health’s Introduction of Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology

Knee replacement surgery patients in the Tri-States area now have a new and improved experience at Blessing Health in Quincy. The hospital has recently introduced the Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology to enhance the precision of knee replacement procedures, shorten recovery time, and allow patients to go home on the same day of the procedure.

During an open house event, doctors demonstrated how the robot works in conjunction with surgeons’ hands to improve alignments, balance, and cuts. This technology not only reduces recovery time but also allows for quicker progress post-surgery. Many patients have shown significant progress within two weeks, some even without the need for a cane, and with full motion already restored.

Since its introduction in July of the previous year, Blessing Health has successfully completed over 125 knee replacement surgeries using the Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology. This cutting-edge technology has marked a significant advancement in knee replacement procedures at the hospital, offering patients a more efficient and effective treatment option.

Dr. Darr Leutz from Blessing Orthopedics and Sports Medicine explained that using Velys can shorten surgery time by approximately two hours. He added that the robot helps in balancing and aligning the knee perfectly, leading to quicker recovery for patients.

In conclusion, Blessing Health’s introduction of Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology has revolutionized knee replacement surgery for Tri-States patients by improving precision, reducing recovery time, and allowing for quicker progress post-surgery. With over 125 successful surgeries completed since its introduction, this cutting-edge technology continues to mark a significant advancement in knee replacement procedures at the hospital.
