First VELYS Knee Replacement Surgeries at Beacon Hospital

Congratulations to Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons Mr Maurice Neligan and Mr Philip Brady who, along with Beacon Hospital’s incredible theatre team, carried out their first three VELYS robotic knee replacement surgeries yesterday.

The VELYS robot uses cutting edge precision technology to carry out knee replacement surgeries with unparalleled accuracy. Combined with the ATTUNE Knee System, which works exclusively with the VELYS, the result for patients is a superior outcome with enhanced recovery and quality of life post-surgery.

Beacon Hospital’s continued investment and development of our surgical robotics program currently sees 4 robots in operation in our Theatres. These include the aforementioned VELYS, the DaVinci XI, the Mako and the Exclius. Combined, these robots are used to perform surgeries across our knee, hip, spinal, colorectal, gynaecological, thoracic, urological and bariatric surgical disciplines.

This is Modern Medicine. This is Beacon Hospital.
