Revolutionizing Knee Replacement Surgery: Blessing Health Introduces Cutting-Edge Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology in Quincy

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

This technology not only reduces recovery time but also allows patients to go home on the same day of the procedure. Surgeons at Blessing Health Center mentioned that using Velys can shorten the 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.

Blessing Health has successfully completed over 125 knee replacement surgeries using the Velys Robotic-Assisted Technology since its introduction in July of the previous year. 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.
