Robotic Hip and Knee Surgery Does Not Cut Repeat Surgery Risk

Original: Robotic hip and knee surgery does not reduce risk of repeat surgery

New reporting indicates that robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement surgery does not lower the risk that patients will need follow-up surgery compared with conventional techniques. The finding challenges a key presumed advantage of the increasingly popular technology, prompting debate among surgeons, hospitals and patients about whether the added cost of robotic systems is justified by outcomes.

Why now: Robotic surgery is being widely adopted in hospitals, so evidence questioning its benefits is drawing attention from clinicians and patients.
