Robotic Spine Surgery
Facing spinal surgery is a double-edged sword for most patients. While they are desperate to relieve their pain, the idea of spinal surgery can feel frightening, adding a level of apprehension for would-be patients. However, with the advance of robotic spine surgery, things have changed dramatically from spinal surgery of 20 years ago.
Today’s robotic spine surgery offers surgical options that are much less invasive than you may expect, contributing to faster healing times and fewer complications. Both benefits lead to you gaining function and losing pain sooner and easier than ever before.
At DOCS Health, we are a dedicated group of globally distinguished orthopedic surgeons, spine specialists, neurosurgeons and pain management specialists who work together to provide our clients with advanced technology combined with superior skill and training. We are healthcare reimagined.
Our team is proud of our robotic surgical lineup, which includes today’s two main robots used in spinal surgery, the Mazor X and the Excelsius GPS. Very few places have both systems. Our team is specialized in these two top programs and will develop a personal plan for your exact requirements.
Mazor X (Medtronic) Spine Surgery Robot
The Mazor X Stealth Spine Surgery Robot from Medtronic is one of the exceptional robots we use to ensure our spinal surgeries are precise and perfect. With robotic technology instrumentation to construct and navigate, The Mazor X is one of the most cutting-edge robotic tools available. In addition, it provides up to 100% accuracy in placing screws in surgery. This precise placement can mean the difference between a life without spinal pain or continued suffering.
The Mazor was the first robot used successfully for spinal surgeries in 2004. Although it was first, it’s still one of the leading robotic software robots used today.
Excelsius GPS (Globus Medical) Spine Surgery Robot
The Excelsius GPS Spine Surgery Robot from Globus Medical is another advanced tool in robotic spine surgery. This navigation platform allows for precise sizing, positioning and placement of implants. It also integrates with digital 3D imaging, giving the surgeons a view of every detail surrounding the surgical site.
GPS technology allows your surgeon to develop a plan specific to your anatomy. This exacting placement means less time recovering with smaller incisions.
