Hi Sharon @sharonbrenna, Dr. Saris (https://sportsmedicine.mayoclinic.org/expert/daniel-saris-m-d-ph-d/) did my right TKR at Rochester Mayo Clinic in April 2019. I'm pretty sure my TKR just used the standard knee replacement surgery procedure. I was kind of hoping for the robotic surgery but in retrospect Dr. Saris did an outstanding job on my TKR. I especially liked the incision that was not a straight line over the top of the knee cap but around the side a little. I think this helped when my knee was healing by less pressure on the scar when bending the knee during recovery (just my humble opinion though). All of Rochester Mayo orthopedic surgeons are really great and I would have any of them do my left knee when and if it needs replacement. The entire care team during the surgery was awesome and explained every aspect of what they were doing (except when I was under the knife 😊).
