BENENDEN HOSPITAL FIRST IN KENT TO USE ROSA ROBOTIC SURGICAL ASSISTANT FOR KNEE SURGERY
Benenden Hospital , the CQC-rated Outstanding private hospital near Cranbrook , has announced the installation of a state-of-the-art , robotic-assisted surgery system in its operating theatres .
The Zimmer Biomet ROSA Knee System combines precise sensors , live data and a robotic arm , supporting surgeons in performing minimally invasive total knee replacements . Benenden Hospital , which performs over 1,000 knee and hip replacements per year , is the first in Kent to use this particular system and joins only a handful of hospitals nationwide employing the technology .

It offers an ultimately better fit and function through a customised surgical plan , enabling faster healing and quicker recovery of motion .”
The ROSA Knee System is paired with a care management mobile app that helps support patients through their surgical preparation and recovery using smartphones or an Apple watch .
Gaslight will be shown at The Palace on Thursday 8 February at 7pm , marking the end of The Palace ’ s 1940 ’ s film season and the first fundraising event of its kind for Oasis , which was made possible thanks to event sponsor , Broadstairs Business Club .
