This two-hour program explores the recent evolution in spinal navigation and a detailed review of the present and future applications of robots in spine surgery. This didactic session will cover essential topics, including optimal workflow for the integration of intra-operative images positioning, framework and instrumentation.
Upon completion of this session/lab, participants will gain information to:
- Understand current uses of navigation systems in spine surgery
- Understand the role of robots in surgery and what they are capable of
- Grasp the significance of both technologies in the treatment of basic spine conditions, tumors and deformity cases
- Trial 1-2 Navigation/Robotic systems during the 3 hour lab
