Conemaugh Health System has introduced advanced robotic-assisted surgery for joint replacement procedures, including total hip and knee replacements, at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center. Robotic-assisted surgery allows orthopedic surgeons to perform complex procedures with added precision, flexibility, and control than with many conventional techniques.

“Robotic surgery is a gamechanger for patients who suffer from hip and knee pain and are ready to improve their range of motion and quality of life. Patients benefit from more accurate component placement and less tissue trauma, which often leads to less pain, less blood loss, faster recovery times, and shorter hospital stays,” said Vincent E. Vena, MD, board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Conemaugh Health System. 

Dr. Vena will host a free community seminar to discuss the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery for joint replacement procedures in the Community Room at Conemaugh East Hills Outpatient Center (1450 Scalp Avenue, Johnstown) on Thursday, January 27, at 4:30 p.m. Participants are required to wear masks and observe social distancing. Space is limited; individuals must RSVP to Sharon Kaseler at 814-534-5276 or skaseler@conemaugh.org.
