Trini:WELCOME BACK TO
"LIVING 808."
SOME EXCITING THINGS ARE
HAPPENING AT ADVENTIST HEALTH
CASTLE.
TODAY WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT THEIR
ADVANCED ROBOTIC SURGERY
TECHNOLOGY AND HOW IT'S MAKING
HIP, KNEE AND SURGERY SHOULDER
FASTER THAN BEFORE.
JOINING US, SUZANNE ASARO.
AND REGISTERED NURSE PATTY
SUTTON.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
SUZANNE, LET'S START WITH YOU.
WHY DID CASTLE GO INTO TICKE ROBOTICS.
IN 2013, THE FIRST GENERATIONohP &C%OF
WE WERE ABLE TO INVEST IN THE
LATEST TECHNOLOGY.
AND WE ARE NOW PROVIDING IT'S
NEW ROBOTICS WITH OUR SECOND
GENERATION WHICH ALLOWS US TO
PROVIDE THE MOST ADVANTAGED TOM.
CASTLE HAS BEEN DOING JOINT CARE
SURGERY SINCE 1997.
WE'VE BEEN PROVIDING EXCELLENT
CARE FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE TO
ADVANCE OUR TECHNOLOGY AND
EXPAND OUR SERVICES.
THIS IS OUR LATEST IN ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGY.
Trini: WHAT IS NAVIO?
IT'S A ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY
SPECIFIC FOR KNEE SURGERY.
IT'S THE SECOND GENERATION AND
NEWEST TECHNOLOGY.
IT PROVIDES A VERY PRECISE
INVASIVE APPROACH TO DOING THE
KNEE PROCEDURE THAT ALLOWS THE
PATIENT TO HAVE A MUCH SHORTER
HOSPITAL STAY.
TO HAVE A MUCH BETTER OUTCOME
AND TO ALSO BE ABLE TO RECOVER
TOTALLY FROM THE SURGERY MUCH
FASTER.
THERE'S SOME OTHER ADVANTAGES.
Trini: WHAT ARE SOME OTHER
BENEFITS?
A I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
NEED KNEE SURGERY OR THEY'VE HAD
KNEW SURGERY.
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE, IT'S SCARY
AND THEY WORRY ABOUT THE LONG
TERM EFFECTS AND NOT BECOME ABLE
TO WORK.
WHEN YOU SAID MINIMALLY
INVASIVE, THAT MADE ME HAPPY.
WHEN YOU GO FROM THE SURGERY,
PREONIVELY WITH THE FIRST
GENERATION TECHNOLOGY, YOU NEED
A CT SCAN SO THEY CAN MAKE THE
PRECISE CUTS.
WITH NAVIO, THEY'RE ABLE TO USE
A WANDING DEVICE AND DON'T
REQUIRE THAT SCAN.
IT SAVES TIME FOR THE PATIENT.
IT ALSO SAVES MONEY BECAUSE IT'S
AN ADDITIONAL TEST THAT IS NOT
NEEDED.
AND RADIATION ASSOCIATED WITH CT
AND THE PATIENT DOESN'T HAVE TO
HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL TEST.
. Trini: SUZANNE, WHO IS A
CANDIDATE?
YOU WANT TO DO PHYSICAL
THERAPY BUT MOST CANDIDATES WILL
BE ABLE TO SAY I HAVE PAIN HERE
ON THIS PART OF THE KNEE.
IT'S SVERY SPECIFIC.
ANOTHER TYPICAL PATIENT WOULD BE
PAIN OR STIFFNESS WHEN YOU STAND
AFTER SITTING FOR A PROLONGAL
PERIOD OF TIME.
THOSE ARE OUR TYPICAL
CANDIDATES.
Trini: I'M SURE A 4 A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE SAYING, HOW DO I
LEARN MORE.
WE PROVIDE COMMUNITY SEMINARS
AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AT CASTLE
CALL 263-5400 OR VISITING CASTLE
MED.ORG AND YOU CAN 2350U FIND OUT
MORE INFORMATION.
OR GIVE US A CALL.
WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTIONS.
Trini: THIS IS IS HUGE
BREAKTHROUGH.
AND IT'S NOT JUST FOR KNEE
SURGERY, RIGHT.
THE NAVIO IS FOCUSED ON KNEE
REPLACEMENT AND PARTIAL KNEE
REPLACEMENT.
YOU CAN DO BOTH.
THIS SYSTEM WORKS BETTER FOR
MORE PATIENTS BECAUSE WE CAN
ONLY DO PARTIAL KNEES.
NOW WE CAN DO TOTAL KNEE.
IN ADDITION, IT CONNECTS FOUR
LIGAMENTS BACK TO THE KNEE.
IT AND HAS A BETTER COSMETIC
RESULT.
WITH THAT IMPLANT, IT HOLDS UP
LONGER AND WORKINGS BETTER FOR
THE PATIENT.
THERE'S LESS PROBLEMS WITH METAL
ALLERGY.
IT'S A BENEFIT.
Trini: GREAT.
SUZANNE, PATTY, THANK YOU.
IF YOU MISSED THE INFORMATION,
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT ON OUR
WEBSITE.
