Revolutionizing Knee Replacement Surgery: Blessing Health Introduces Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology

Blessing Health in Quincy is now offering a new experience for Tri-States patients who need knee replacement surgery. The hospital recently introduced the Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology to improve the outcomes of knee replacement procedures. During an open house event, doctors demonstrated how the robot works in conjunction with the surgeons’ hands to enhance precision in alignments, balance, and cuts.

The use of Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology has allowed surgeons at Blessing Health Center to shorten surgery time by approximately two hours. Dr. Darr Leutz from Blessing Orthopedics and Sports Medicine explained that the robot helps in balancing and aligning the knee perfectly, leading to quicker recovery for patients. Many patients have shown significant progress within two weeks post-surgery, some even without the need for a cane, and with full motion already restored.

Since its introduction in July of the previous year, Blessing Health has successfully completed over 125 knee replacement surgeries using the Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology. This cutting-edge technology has marked a significant advancement in knee replacement procedures at the hospital, offering patients a more efficient and effective treatment option.

Blessing Health is committed to providing its patients with state-of-the-art medical care and technology. With the introduction of Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology, patients can expect faster recovery times and improved surgical outcomes when undergoing knee replacement surgery at Blessing Health Center.
