What is Robotic Spine Surgery?

Robotic Spine Surgery is a new form of operation adopted by our team where robotic technology assists spinal neurosurgery with guidance. Neurosurgeons are traditionally used to place instruments in the spine relying on x-rays and their knowledge of anatomy freehandedly but now with robotic spine surgery, robots can maintain steady hands and perform repetitive tasks while under our expert’s guidance. Using robots in spinal surgery procedures helps neurosurgeons work through the long and laborious spinal surgery without physical fatigue. 

Should you be worried? This emerging technology needs well-trained surgeons to specialise in operating with robots, which our team is proficient at. The patient’s safety is the top priority of our doctors which is why they implement this procedure with utmost care and professionalism.

Why opt for Robotic Spine Surgery?

Traditionally surgeons have experienced extreme mental and physical fatigue due to the length of the surgery and the labor involved with keeping their hands steady while operating. This has now been alleviated with the new technology assisting our team and maintaining the performance level of the surgery. Robotic Spine Surgery is performed under the guidance of surgeons with years of experience so as to minimize any chances of a surgery going south. The surgeon’s knowledge and the enforced stability increase the chances of making the spinal surgery successful. Robotic Spine Surgery helps the surgeons and the surgery in the following ways:

  • Minimizing the fatigue-related chances of errors
  • Improving the accuracy of procedures, especially those involving rods, screws
  • Eliminating the issue of steadiness of surgeon freehand technique
  • Moving to the correct programmed position
  • Allowing surgeons to make precise movements in small space operations
  • Improved consistent outcomes for the patient
  • Navigating challenging autonomy with precision 
  • Low exposure to radiation
  • Short surgical time
  • Faster recovery because of precise cuts

When is a Robotic Spine Surgery performed?

In case a patient has any of the following reasons for surgery, a doctor recommends Robotic Spinal Surgery to minimize the risks involved in the operation. A Robotic Spine Surgery is performed successfully for the following spinal procedures:

  • Anaesthetic block for nerve pain
  • Correction of spinal deformity
  • Revision surgery for stenosis, spondylolysis, vertebral fracture, spondylolisthesis, and osteomyelitis 
  • Minimally invasive lateral, posterior fusion, and anterior
  • Minimally invasive decompression
  • Spinal fusion
  • Tumor resection
  • Vertebroplasty for spinal compression fractures
