Max Hospitals has advanced Integrated Robotic System for Spine Surgery

Team L&M

With an objective to revolutionise technology driven medical advancements in the country, North India’s leading healthcare provider BLK-Max Super Specialty Hospital today introduced India’s most advanced Integrated Robotic System for Spine Surgery. This technology is the most advanced software platform designed to increase safety and accuracy of spine surgery and provides support to spine surgical suite where precision and accuracy are key factors for best outcomes.

The technology utilises artificial intelligence to visualise spinal anatomy during complex surgeries. Robotic surgeries allow data integration which comes handy during these spine surgeries and doctors can customised the surgical plan for individual patient. The integrated spinal robot is programmed to navigate spinal surgeries. Additionally, this is the only robotic system that combines surgical navigation and robotic guidance for spinal surgery, which offers significant advantages to spine surgeons. The system has been designed to facilitate procedural efficiency. Robotic surgeries makes the procedure more objective as its more plan driven.

Dr Puneet Girdhar, Senior Director & Head, Orthopaedic Spine Surgery, BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital performed 10 complex spinal surgeries, in the recent past, using the robotic navigation system with 100 per cent successful outcomes. All of his patients could walk pain-free from day after surgery.

“In today’s advanced medical times robotic spinal surgeries are the safest route for procedures that require extreme precision and accuracy. They not only promise positive outcomes but also involve minimal complications throughout the surgery. In case of Mr. Kamra, having understood the advantages of a robotic procedure during our counselling session, underwent a successful Robotic Spinal MISTILF surgery, following which he was able to walk next day without any pain. The targeting of the instrumentation in the spinal vertebrae was accurate due to the precision provided by the robotic technology. Blood loss was minimal and we could successfully perform a minimal invasive technique on his spinal surgery,” says Dr Girdhar.

Adds Dr Anil Kansal, Sr. Director & Head, Neuro Surgery & Neuro Spine, BLK-Max Centre for Neurosciences, BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, “Robotic assisted surgeries will significantly improve surgical outcomes of complex surgeries due to an advanced level of precision.  Main fear in spine surgery is adverse result due to malplacement of screws.  These complications can be now avoided completely by using robotic spine surgery by placing screws accurately and faster with most desired outcome.”
