How Robotic Spine Surgery Works

Each patient will take a preoperative CT scan at AVALA Imaging Center. This CT scan will allow the physician to make a personalized surgical plan for each patient based on their anatomy. The preoperative CT scan along with the intraoperative CT, and x-ray imaging allows the physician to visualize a patient’s anatomy in real-time during the robotic surgery.

During surgery, the robotic arm guides the physician based on the patient’s personalized surgical plan, to accurately place pedicles and screws.
