Innovations in Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery With Dr. Akhilesh Sastry at USM’s Abromson Center

November 20, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Join York Hospital and Dr. Akhilesh Sastry to learn about the exciting innovations in joint replacement surgery only available at York Hospital. Dr. Sastry was the first surgeon in Maine to perform robotic assisted partial knee replacements with the MAKO Robot and has been offering the procedure at York Hospital since 2016. Dr. Sastry and York Hospital are also the first in Maine to introduce Mako Total Hip Replacement Surgery! He will present information about these minimally invasive treatment options for adults living with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis of the knees or degenerative joint disease of the hips.

Dr. Sastry will explain how robot-assisted surgery for hip, or knee, replacement procedures may help patients experience the following benefits:

  • Highest level of surgical accuracy
  • Faster recovery
  • Less implant wear and loosening
  • Smaller scar
  • Better motion and a more natural feeling

A light dinner and refreshments will be served in the Schooner Room. Q&A will follow. This event is complimentary but RSVPs are required. Register on Eventbrite, Facebook, by phone (207-351-2385), or by email ([email protected]).
