Mazor X Stealth™ Robotic Spine Surgery Explained

Surgery Overview

Mazor X Spine Surgery implements innovative tools that complement the talents of an experienced surgeon. The result is a procedure with a smaller incision site, a smaller margin for error, and a faster recovery time. 

 

Before the patient even enters the operating room, the Mazor Robotic Spine Surgery system allows the surgeon to create a 3D plan specifically catered to the individual patient. Once surgery begins, a robotic arm extends to hold the surgical instruments steadily in place as the surgeon executes the procedure. 

 

The system also gives the doctor better visibility, which in turn allows him to make more informed decisions as the surgery progresses.

  • Faster recovery and a shorter hospital stay
  • Reduced pain after surgery
  • Less exposure to radiation
