Step Into the Future: Robotic-Assisted Knee Surgery Comes to Sussex Premier Health

What is the ROSA® Knee System?

ROSA — short for Robotic Surgical Assistant — is a cutting-edge robotic arm that assists surgeons during total knee replacement procedures. Using real-time data and advanced computer navigation, ROSA helps the surgical team plan and perform the operation with enhanced precision and accuracy tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy.

Unlike traditional knee replacement surgery, the ROSA system uses detailed mapping and live feedback to ensure optimal implant positioning and alignment, which can contribute to improved joint function, reduced post-operative pain, and potentially faster recovery times.

A Step Forward in Patient-Centred Care

Our Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons have undergone advanced training to use the ROSA system, which complements their surgical expertise and enhances the already high standards of care at Sussex Premier Health.

“The introduction of the ROSA Robotic Knee Replacement System is an exciting leap forward. It’s fantastic to bring this technology to Sussex Premier Health, giving our patients in East Sussex access to cutting-edge surgical innovation,” says Mr Khalid Malik, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. “Robotic assisted surgery allows us to plan and perform knee replacements with a high degree of precision, tailoring each procedure to the individual for optimal implant positioning, knee balance, and ultimately improved outcomes.”

What This Means for Our Patients

Patients considering knee replacement surgery now have access to this robotic-assisted technology as part of their care pathway. Whether you’re experiencing long-term pain from arthritis or reduced mobility affecting your quality of life, the ROSA Knee System offers a new level of confidence and precision in your treatment.
