"I believe this technology allows surgeons to perform their spinal procedures even better through more concise planning and execution in the operating room," said Dr. Rajpal. "One additional advantage is the versatility of the system. Surgeons can easily integrate the Mazor Robotic Guidance System into their current workflows - whether it's using a pre-operative planning CT with intraoperative fluoroscopy or using an O-arm™ for scanning and planning altogether in the operating room. The newest software update and instrumentation sets have also significantly improved the workflow, providing a more intuitive interface for surgeons during the planning phase, to more streamlined steps when executing the surgical plan."

"We want to congratulate each of these surgeons – and their patients – on successful procedures and recoveries," said Linnea Burman, vice president and general manager, Enabling Technologies: Cranial & Spinal Technologies, which is reported as part of the Restorative Therapies Group at Medtronic. "We continuously strive to improve the robotic surgery field, and hearing about these great success stories and how these patients' lives have been affected gives our team more motivation to achieve the next level of advancement."
