Overview
The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in process set-up, efficiency, OR team workload, instrument trays and OR financial performance when using the VRAS (Velys Robotic Assisted Solution) of DePuy Synthes compared to conventional TKA.
Description
The increasing number of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures is putting a significant burden on healthcare systems, surgeons and their surgical teams. Technology is introduced to improve accuracy, reproducibility and efficiency of TKA surgery, and a significant portion of the patient population is now being treated using Robotic Assisted Surgery. However, robotic surgeries are believed to have a longer procedure time.
The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in process set-up, efficiency, OR team workload, instrument trays and OR financial performance when using the VRAS (Velys Robotic Assisted Solution) of DePuy Synthes compared to conventional TKA.
In this multicentre study, measurements will be conducted in 10 hospitals with 10 selected surgeons across selected countries in Europe and the UK. For each surgeon enrolled, a minimum of five VRAS assisted surgical procedures and five conventional surgical procedures will be observed. The OR set-up will be similar for all cases in the same hospital. The same experienced surgeon will conduct all procedures.
