SPINE SURGERIES

Robotic spine surgery

Robotic spine surgery, also known as robot-assisted spine surgery, is an advanced orthopedic service that involves the use of robotic systems to assist surgeons in performing spinal procedures with enhanced precision and control. This technology aims to improve the accuracy of instrument placement, reduce tissue damage, and optimize patient outcomes.

Here’s an overview of robotic spine surgery:

Indications for Robotic Spine Surgery:

  • Spinal Fusion: Used in procedures involving the fusion of vertebrae to treat conditions such as degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, or instability.
  • Laminectomy: Removal of part of the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
  • Discectomy: Removal of a portion of a herniated disc that may be compressing nerves.
  • Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty: Procedures used to treat vertebral compression fractures.

Expected Outcomes:

  • Improved Accuracy: Robotic spine surgery aims to improve the accuracy of instrument placement, reducing the risk of complications and improving overall surgical outcomes.
  • Minimized Tissue Damage: The precision afforded by robotic systems may contribute to minimized disruption to surrounding tissues.

Robotic spine surgery is considered an innovative and promising technology in the field of orthopedics. Patients considering this type of surgery should have a detailed discussion with their orthopedic surgeon to understand the potential benefits, risks, and expected outcomes based on their specific condition. The decision to undergo robotic spine surgery is individualized, and healthcare providers consider various factors to create a treatment plan tailored to the patient’s needs.
