Bowling Green’s TriStar Greenview Regional Hospital has expanded its robot-assisted surgery program, adding a second orthopedic surgical robot.

Orthopedic surgeons will use the robot to perform total knee replacement procedures.

“Orthopedic surgery has advanced dramatically during the past decade, and robotic technology is an excellent example of a clinical breakthrough that has enhanced our ability to perform procedures,” said Dr. Christopher M. Patton, an orthopedic surgeon who practices at Greenview.

The Velys Robotic-Assisted Solution for total knee replacement allows surgeons to fine-tune each aspect of the procedure to the patient’s anatomy. Surgeons use the system to create a precise surgical plan that personalizes alignment and balance.

“This technology expands the options available to patients in our area who need total knee replacement and affords our surgeons a higher degree of personalization for each procedure,” said Mike Sherrod, Greenview’s chief executive officer.
