Hackensack performs 1st knee replacement with new Think Surgical robot

Robotics

Hackensack (N.J.) University Medical Center was the first medical center in the U.S. to use Think Surgical's TSolution One Total Knee Application, performing a procedure on a 64-year-old woman Feb. 10.

The FDA approved the surgical robot in October 2019, and Hackensack purchased it shortly after in January. The robot features a 3D presurgical planning workstation and computer-assisted tool to help execute the procedure.

Yair David Kissin, MD, performed the procedure. He is one of the surgeons who participated in the platform's investigational clinical trial.
