First patient in Iowa to have robot-assisted surgery has good results
Davenport, Iowa (Quad Cities Times) Carolyn Richardson didn’t know she’d be making history Monday morning.
Richardson, 57, was the first patient in the Quad-Cities to receive orthopedic robot-assisted surgery using the Stryker Mako SmartTechnology TM system the first time such advanced technology has been used in the area for partial and total joint replacements.

Two of the Mako robotic systems were purchased by UnityPoint Health-Trinity and Mississippi Valley Surgery Center to be used at the Bettendorf hospital and the MVSC, 3400 Dexter Court, Davenport.
