The Benefits of Robotic Spine Surgery
At WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute at Thomas Hospitals, our neurosurgeons are trained to perform robotic spine surgery. This advanced, minimally invasive technique enhances precision and offers a safer, more effective treatment option.
Using a robotic arm and 3D camera, our neurosurgeons can carefully guide surgical instruments with exceptional accuracy. This technology also allows them to create a surgical plan before entering the operating room, ensuring precise placement of hardware and implants through small incisions. This approach can lead to faster recovery, less pain, and reduced risk of complications for patients.
Improved Accuracy
Robotic spine surgery represents a groundbreaking advancement in medical technology. By integrating robotics and navigation technology, our surgeons can achieve exceptional precision, minimizing risks and improving patient outcomes. The ability to meticulously plan and execute procedures enhances both safety and efficiency, making spine surgery less invasive and more predictable.
Advanced Safety
Robotic navigation is a game-changer in spine surgery, significantly reducing radiation exposure by eliminating the need for repeated x-rays. The ability to visualize the spine in real time without requiring a large incision enhances both safety and precision, leading to shorter procedures and improved patient recovery.
Better Outcomes with Faster Recovery Times
By making smaller incisions and minimizing trauma to muscles and tissues, the procedure not only reduces blood loss but also allows for smoother and quicker recovery. Robotic guidance ensures every step follows a precise plan, leading to optimal surgical outcomes.
