The HANA table is a specialized surgical table designed specifically for anterior hip replacement procedures. It allows for precise patient positioning, enabling surgeons to access the hip joint without disrupting surrounding muscles. Its advanced traction and positioning capabilities improve surgical accuracy, reduce recovery time and enhance patient outcomes.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Kade Lyman and our experienced surgical team, who utilized the HANA table’s advanced positioning capabilities to facilitate the anterior approach.
The patient, who suffered from severe hip arthritis, is already on the path to recovery and is expected to regain mobility more quickly than with traditional hip replacement methods. The surgical team reported that the operation proceeded smoothly, without any complications.
This achievement underscores Kane County Hospital’s commitment to bringing cutting edge medical technologies to its patients, ensuring they receive the highest standard of care close to home. The addition of the HANA table enhances the hospital’s ability to perform advanced orthopedic procedures, expanding treatment options for those in need of hip replacements and related surgeries.
In addition to the medical benefits, this milestone reflects the hospital’s dedication to ongoing staff training and technological advancements. The integration of new surgical techniques and equipment is part of the hospital’s long-term strategy to provide top-tier healthcare services to the community.
