Metro Health Hospital in Wyoming, Mich., is the first hospital in the state to acquire the Mazor X system, according to the Grand Rapids Business Journal.
Here are three takeaways:
1. Metro Health has been focused on minimally invasive surgery in recent years and the integration of Mazor X is another step in advancing its minimally invasive spine program.
2. Mazor X uses a 3D simulation of a patient's spine, allowing the surgeon to develop a plan prior to the procedure. During the time of the surgery, the system provides computer analytics for additional precision guidance.
3. Metro Health was the first hospital in Michigan to adopt Mazor Robotics' Renaissance guidance system.
