Robotic Assisted Knee Replacement surgery in Taunton

Advanced knee replacement surgery supported by VELYS™ robotic technology.

At Nuffield Health Taunton Hospital, we offer robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery using the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution. This advanced technology supports our orthopaedic consultants to plan and perform surgery with greater precision, helping to deliver a more personalised approach to your care.

VELYS™ works alongside your consultant during surgery - providing real-time data to support decision-making, while your surgeon remains fully in control at every stage.

What is VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted surgery?

VELYS™ is a robotic arm-assisted solution used during knee replacement surgery. It provides your consultant with real-time information about your knee during the operation, helping them make informed decisions tailored to your individual anatomy.

Importantly, the robot does not perform surgery on its own. Your consultant remains fully in control at all times, using the technology as a tool to support precision and consistency.

How does it work?

During surgery, the VELYS™ system:

  • Builds a detailed picture of your knee anatomy
  • Helps your surgeon plan implant positioning specifically for you
  • Provides real-time feedback throughout the procedure
  • Assists with accurate bone preparation and alignment.

This data-driven approach allows surgery to be adapted to how your knee moves and feels, rather than relying on standard measurements alone.

What are the potential benefits for patients?

While every patient’s experience is different, VELYS™ robotic-assisted surgery may offer:

  • A knee replacement tailored to your individual anatomy
  • Greater surgical accuracy and consistency
  • Improved balance and alignment of the joint
  • Potential for a smoother recovery and improved function.

Your consultant will discuss whether robotic-assisted surgery is suitable for you and what benefits you may expect based on your individual needs.
