St. Elizabeth Dearborn Completes 1st Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery
Earlier this year, our Orthopeadic Surgery team completed our first MAKO robotic assisted surgery at St. Elizabeth Dearborn.
Robotics, such as the Mako Robotic Arm, further enhance the elite skill of surgeons by giving them the ability to provide patients with a more individualized surgery plan and the precision to make smaller incisions. This leads to less pain and a quicker, more effective recovery.
Congratulations to our Dearborn team, including Dr. Brian Wissel. We are excited to provide innovative orthopedic care in Southeast Indiana.
