Saqib Hasan, MD, performed the surgery in August, according to a news release from the medical center. The procedure combined endoscopic and robotic-guided technologies and allowed Dr. Hasan to operate through a smaller incision.
“Endoscopic techniques really represent a paradigm shift in spine surgery,” Dr. Hasan said in the news release. “By leveraging these technologies, surgeons can treat spinal problems in a truly minimally invasive way. By using advanced miniature cameras (endoscopes) and computer-based robotic arms to provide a more targeted and accurate approach, we can achieve similar results to more traditional open procedures with less pain and quicker recovery.”
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.
