Robotic surgery
The surgeon plans. The robot executes with precision.
With the TSolution One® system by Think Surgical (USA), the operation is planned in 3D from a CT scan, specifically for each patient’s anatomy. The robot then prepares the bone exactly according to the surgeon’s plan.
- Personalised 3D pre-operative planning
- Accuracy to tenths of a millimetre
- Small incisions, minimal blood loss
- Bone milling instead of a saw
- Rapid mobilisation with Fast-Track
- FDA clearance for knee and hip
“Our mind does not allow the robot to make a mistake. The robot does not allow our hand to make a mistake.”— Marios G. Salmas

Patient testimonials
What our patients say
“What impressed me was the way he explained every detail to me about the joint, the operation and the recovery. I walked the same day. Most importantly, I now walk without the pain that had been tormenting me for the last few years.”
“My mother’s operation went extremely well, painlessly and with immediate mobilisation, without any ordeal or a long hospital stay. The constant contact with the patient and her family was genuinely meaningful and very helpful.”
“Professor Salmas is an excellent scientist, who explains very clearly the nature of the problem and the procedure of the operation.”
