The demand for innovation is consistently high in domestic private healthcare institutions. With an investment of around HUF 500 million (EUR 1.2 million), Emineo Private Hospital is launching the country’s first Orthopedic Robotic Surgery Center. The institution’s orthopedic surgeons will be supported by the U.S.-developed ROSA robot, successfully used worldwide since 2018, writes Világgazdaság.
 

In a specially designed operating room, the center’s 20-strong team of trained surgeons – orthopedic surgeons and technicians – will use the ROSA surgical robot from the U.S. medical technology company Zimmer Biomet to perform more precise prosthetic implantations than ever before.

The robot has been used in just 80 sites in Europe, but in more than 1,500 sites globally, and its effectiveness has been proven in several clinical trials.

Zsolt Knoll, founding Medical Director of Emineo Private Hospital, said: “ROSA provides even our most experienced surgeons with comprehensive support that translates into tangible patient benefits in surgical outcomes.”
 

He added that Emineo is the first to offer robotic knee replacement surgery as an elective option alongside traditional surgery. Moreover, as a regional training center, it will also provide an opportunity for more practicing national orthopedic surgeons to become familiar with this future-proof technology that delivers outstanding clinical results.

Zsolt Knoll stressed that knee replacement is one of the most complex prosthetic procedures in orthopedic surgery. Due to the complexity of the knee joint, it requires extreme experience and precision from the surgeon performing the procedure.

The importance of the ROSA surgical robot lies in its 3D imaging during surgery, its tissue assessment based on patient-specific anatomical characteristics, assessed with perfect accuracy, and its cutting template, providing the surgeon with complete precision.
