Northridge Hospital has been recognized by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as Centers of Excellence for Robotic Surgery, Joint Replacement Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, and Minimally Invasive Surgery. SRC Center of Excellence accreditation is earned through participation in an extensive assessment and inspection process. Factors that must meet SRC standards include surgical volume and outcomes, facility equipment, clinical pathways and standard operating procedures, emphasis on patient education, and continuous quality assessment.
At Northridge Hospital, our highly skilled surgeons utilize the da Vinci Xi surgical robotic system designed to perform some of the most complex procedures and provide you with unmatched precision – allowing you to get back on your feet sooner.
With the da Vinci Xi® surgery, you no longer have to worry about complex surgeries with long recovery times. Your surgeon is in control of the procedure via magnification in 3-D, high-definition views of the procedure site as well as superior visual clarity of tissue and anatomy, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures through the smallest incisions possible.
The da Vinci is used for procedures involving the:
The CORI Surgical System is an advanced robotic-assisted surgical platform designed primarily for orthopedic procedures, particularly knee and hip replacements. It uses a detailed 3D map of your joint, created during the surgery itself, to help the surgeon make very precise incisions and place the new joint perfectly. Unlike traditional robotic systems that rely on scans taken before surgery, the CORI system lets the surgeon make adjustments in real-time, based on what they're seeing during the procedure. This can lead to a more accurate fit, less damage to surrounding tissues, and potentially a quicker recovery for you. Think of it as a way to make your surgery even more personalized and precise.
The CORI Surgical System is primarily used to treat conditions that require orthopedic surgery, specifically:
In essence, it treats conditions that necessitate joint replacement or reconstruction due to arthritis, injury, or other degenerative diseases affecting the knees and hips.
Mako Total Knee Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery is an innovative approach to knee replacement that uses a robotic arm to help your surgeon perform the procedure with greater precision. Before surgery, a CT scan of your knee is used to create a personalized 3D model. During the surgery, your surgeon guides the Mako robotic arm based on this model, allowing for very accurate placement of the knee implant. This precision can lead to a more natural-feeling knee, reduced pain, and a potentially faster recovery. The Mako system doesn't replace your surgeon; it's a tool that enhances their skill and allows for a more customized and accurate knee replacement.
