Robotic spine surgery is transforming spine care, offering patients remarkable benefits that were once thought impossible. At Atlantic Brain and Spine, Dr. Kimberly Ashayeri, a leading neurosurgeon specializing in robotic spine surgery, is pioneering this advanced field.

The Basics of Robotic Spine Surgery
Robotic spine surgery enhances the surgeon’s ability to perform complex and minimally invasive procedures with highly accurate movements and the highest levels of precision, reducing the risk of human error and improving patient outcomes. The technology enables operative planning in three dimensions so surgeons can determine the best possible implants, safest placement, and optimal alignment. It also uses a stable mechanical arm guided into place by the surgeon’s plan, minimizing the potential for human error and empowering the plan to be carried out with the highest degree of accuracy.

The Benefits of Robotic Spine Surgery
The patient benefits are many:

• Faster recovery time
• Fewer complications
• Improved precision
• Lower infection rate
• Minimal scarring
• Reduced pain
• Shorter hospital stay
• Smaller incisions

The Spinal Conditions Best Suited for Robotic Spine Surgery

Robotic spine surgery is ideal for complex spinal surgeries that require precise implant placement – like scoliosis, spinal deformities, and multi-level degenerative disc disease. It’s also a great fit for minimally invasive procedures like spinal fusions and discectomies – as well as any condition where accuracy is paramount. This includes revision surgeries where anatomy may have changed from previous operations.

The Latest Advancements That Have Further Improved Patient Outcomes
As technology continues to evolve, one of the most game-changing advancements is the integration of real-time intraoperative imaging, which provides continuous feedback during surgery. Additionally, recent software allows robots to further adapt to the patient’s anatomy, making surgery more personalized.

Additionally, 3D planning tools have revolutionized the approach to complex spinal deformities, improving both planning and execution. And, there more to come like artificial intelligence-driven diagnostics, machine learning, and more intuitive, adaptable robots.

The Key to Success: A Surgeon Who Specializes in Robotic Technology

The true potential of robotic spine surgery is only realized when the technology is in the hands of a surgeon who has mastered it. Atlantic Brain and Spine’s Dr. Ashayeri is trained in the latest and most innovative techniques. Renowned for her work in this area, Dr. Ashayeri frequently presents her research at national and international conferences and in leading spine surgery journals.

Tips for Patients Considering Robotic Spine Surgery
Have a thorough consultation with a surgeon specializing in robotic systems to understand your specific condition and how robotic surgery might help. Ask about the surgeon’s experience, the technology they use, and what to expect during recovery. Robotic spine surgery offers significant advantages, but it’s essential to ensure it’s the right choice for each patient’s individual needs.
