Before surgery, the ROSA system creates a 3D model of a patient’s knee through a series of X-rays, allowing the surgeon to tailor the operation to the patient’s anatomy. During the procedure, the robot’s movements are guided by a camera and optical trackers attached to the patient’s leg.
Surgeons at Vidant SurgiCenter performed seven operations with the robot in its first week, according to the report.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
