Robotic Surgery

Robotic lumbar surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a robot to assist a surgeon in performing surgery on the lower back. The robot provides 3D imaging of the patient's anatomy, allowing the surgeon to place instrumentation in more precise and accurate movements during the procedure. Robotic lumbar surgery is typically recommended for patients who suffer from degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or other conditions that cause lower back pain. It is also an option for patients who have not experienced relief from non-surgical treatments and are considering surgery as a last resort. The goal of robotic lumbar surgery is to alleviate pain and improve the patient's quality of life by restoring mobility and function to the lower back. 

• Increased accuracy: With robotic assistance, the placement of pedicle screws can be more precise than with traditional methods. This can reduce the risk of complications such as nerve damage, spinal cord injury, or screw misplacement.
• Reduced radiation exposure: Traditional methods of pedicle screw placement often involve the use of fluoroscopy, which exposes the patient and surgical team to ionizing radiation. Robotic systems can minimize or eliminate the need for fluoroscopy, reducing radiation exposure for everyone involved.
• Improved efficiency: Robotic systems can make the surgical procedure more efficient by streamlining the process of placing pedicle screws. This can lead to shorter surgical times, less anesthesia exposure, and a faster recovery for the patient.
• Enhanced visualization: Robotic systems often include high-definition cameras that provide surgeons with enhanced visualization of the surgical site. This can help them make more informed decisions about the placement of pedicle screws and reduce the risk of complications.
• Customization: Robotic systems can be programmed to fit the specific anatomy of each patient, allowing for a more tailored approach to pedicle screw placement. This can be particularly beneficial in patients with complex spinal deformities or abnormalities.
