Essentia Health unveils new robotic surgical option

DETROIT LAKES, Minn. (KVRR) — If you have knee issues, Essentia Health St. Mary’s-Detroit Lakes is offering a new robotic surgical option.

ROSA Knee System uses real-time data to provide customized surgery.

The minimally invasive robot-assisted surgeries can improve patient outcomes and reduce recovery times.

Surgeons are informed about a patient’s unique anatomy, which may affect an implant’s fit.

According to Essentia, the benefits include reduced post-surgery pain, fast recovery, and less risk of infection.

The system was made possible by Essentia Health St. Mary’s-Detroit Lakes Foundation.
