Poland makes breakthrough in the application of robotic hip replacement surgery.

Poland has become the first EU country to use robots in hip replacement surgery, improving accuracy and reducing complications for patients.

According to the Vietnam News Agency correspondent in Europe, Poland has just achieved a breakthrough in the field of orthopedic surgery, becoming the third country – along with Belgium and Slovakia – in the European Union (EU) to successfully apply robotic technology in hip replacement surgery.

According to Professor Paweł Skowronek, Medical Director of Mazovian Bródno Hospital in Warsaw, this groundbreaking surgery, performed in early August 2025, marks a significant step forward in the application of high technology to medicine.

The surgical procedure is performed with the support of an advanced artificial intelligence system. Doctors attach navigation devices to the robotic arm, allowing the system to calculate the optimal position of the hip implant and perform diagnostic measurements in real time.

The breakthrough of this technology is its ability to precisely position the joint during placement, eliminating the need for separate MRI or CT scans, thereby minimizing the risk of complications and optimizing mobility for patients.

Professor Skowronek emphasized that this is a completely new development in the field of orthopedic surgery, as robotic technology was previously only applied to knee surgery.

This method not only optimizes joint position and minimizes discrepancies between limbs, but also expands range of motion and reduces the risk of dislocation, helping patients maintain physical activity in the future.

Currently, the age of patients requiring hip replacement surgery is getting younger, mainly due to modern lifestyles and the early onset of degenerative diseases. It is projected that by 2050, the number of such surgeries in Europe will almost double.

Mazovian Bródno Hospital performs approximately 2,000 surgeries annually, including over 1,000 hip replacement surgeries using the minimally invasive MIS DAA technique – one of the most advanced methods in Poland.
