As a leader in innovation, St Andrew's Toowoomba Hospital is home to advanced robotic-assisted surgical technology designed to support precision, efficiency and personalised patient care. Our orthopaedic surgeons have access to three leading robotic platforms, placing St Andrew's among a small number of centres nationally with this level of technology.
Technology in the hands of experienced surgeons
Robotic-assisted technology does not replace the surgeon. These systems are tools that support planning, precision and consistency, helping surgeons deliver personalised care based on each patient's individual needs.
MAKO SmartRobotics™
For hip, knee and shoulder replacement surgery
The MAKO SmartRobotics™ system assists surgeons in planning and performing joint replacement procedures with a high degree of precision. Using advanced imaging and real-time guidance, the technology supports personalised surgical planning tailored to each patient's anatomy.
- Hip replacement
- Knee replacement
- Shoulder replacement
ROSA® Knee System
For robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery
The ROSA® Knee System provides surgeons with detailed data and real-time feedback during knee replacement procedures. The technology assists with implant positioning and surgical planning while allowing the surgeon to remain in complete control throughout the procedure.
- Total knee replacement
- Partial knee replacement
ExcelsiusGPS®
For minimally invasive spine surgery
The Globus ExcelsiusGPS® robotic platform combines navigation and robotic guidance technology to assist surgeons performing complex spinal procedures. The system supports accuracy and may help facilitate minimally invasive surgical approaches where appropriate.
- Spinal surgery
- Spinal stabilisation procedures
- Complex spine conditions
