Robot-Assisted Hip Replacement Surgery to be Broadcast Live⁢ at Symposium

Seoul – Surgeons will broadcast a live robot-assisted hip replacement surgery at ⁢an upcoming symposium, offering a⁣ firsthand ⁢look ‍at the technology’s precision. The procedure, performed by Dr. Ha Yong-chan at Seoul Bumin Hospital, will be streamed online to attendees of the‍ 4th Robot Artificial Joint Surgery Symposium⁤ on May 31.

Precision in Hip Replacement

Hip replacement surgery demands accuracy as the hip joint connects the leg ⁢and ‍pelvic bones. Even slight errors in artificial joint placement can affect the outcome. According to the⁢ hospital, the robotic system allows surgeons to achieve sub-millimeter precision, which⁢ can⁤ be verified throughout the procedure.

Symposium Details

The Korean Orthopedic Computer Surgery Society, led by Chairman Lee Woo-suk, is⁢ hosting the⁢ symposium at the Yongsan Dragon City in Seoul. The live broadcast from Seoul Bumin Hospital aims to demonstrate the⁣ potential ⁢for wider adoption of robot-assisted joint replacement.

Expert Presentations

The symposium will feature presentations from ‍both domestic and international experts in artificial joint surgery. This year’s focus is on robot-assisted hip replacement.⁤ Speakers including Cynthia Callenberg (HSS Hospital), Ryuichi Sato (Kanagawa rehabilitation Hospital), Hwang Ji-hyo (Hallym University), and Kim Hong-seok (Seoul National ⁣University) will discuss clinical cases and current trends.

Other ⁣presenters, including Han Hyuk-soo (Seoul National University), ⁢Sun Jong-geun (Chonnam National University), lee Sang-hoon (SNU Seoul Hospital), and Yoon Ji-soo (Bumin Hospital), will share essential knowledge for medical professionals ⁢in the field.

Global Perspectives on⁤ Robotic Surgery

The symposium will‍ also address international trends in robot-assisted surgery. Gung Yoon-bae (Bumin Hospital), Kim Sung-hwan (Chung-Ang University), Niraz Aradkar (Sai Schuri hospital), ⁢and ⁤Michael Yam Wuyi ⁣(Singapore Tan Tok Seng ⁤Hospital) will discuss new approaches to⁣ knee replacement and‍ surgical‍ trends⁢ in the United⁢ States, Japan, India, and singapore.

Society’s commitment to ⁤Innovation

according to⁤ Lee ⁤Woo-suk, chairman of the Korean Orthopedic Computer Surgery society, the⁤ association⁤ is committed⁢ to ⁢exploring advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, ⁣augmented reality, ⁢and 3D printing, along with robotics and navigation-based surgery. He anticipates the ⁢symposium will provide ⁢valuable insights into artificial joint surgery and offer opportunities to share surgical expertise through the live broadcast.

Registration Details

The symposium will be held in a hybrid format,both online and in-person.Participants can earn six continuing education credits. Medical residents, ⁣students, and ‍nurses can attend for free. Pre-registration is⁢ open until May 25. Additional information, including the program schedule, is available ⁣on the Bumin Hospital website.
