Dual Incision Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery
Orthopaedics: St. Cloud
Hospital in St. Cloud, MN will webcast its first Dual Incision
Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery with the Stryker Navigation system on
November 16, 2004, at 4:30pm EST. Dr. Joseph P. Nessler, St. Cloud
Orthopedic Associates, will perform the surgery. Dr. Frank R. Kolisek,
Assistant Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Indiana University
School of Medicine, will moderate the procedure. The combination of a
dual incision minimally invasive procedure with the electronic imaging
of navigation is redefining the world of total hip replacement. A
surgical procedure is successful when a surgeon achieves the right
combination of implant, technique and patient. The dual incision
approach in this procedure is not only muscle sparing, but also
minimizes trauma to soft tissue and may allow patients to rehabilitate
faster. Dr. Kolisek will help participating surgeons better understand
patient selection criteria for minimally invasive procedures and how
they should approach minimally invasive surgery as opposed to
traditional hip replacement surgery.
