The system lets surgeons use hand gestures and voice commands to view and manipulate a hologram of a patient’s preoperative plan during cases. Scripps Clinic is one of 33 facilities in the U.S. offering mixed reality technology.

“Being able to view the entire surgical plan during the operation is a big advantage for patients because it can help surgeons replicate the pre-op plan with precision,” Dr. Rebolledo said in the report. “Having a detailed 3D model of the patient’s surgical plan directly in our sights in real time opens up a new window to help further enhance the procedure.”

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.
