The procedure occurred in May at Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix location. AR goggles allow surgeons to produce a multicolored 3D model of a patient’s anatomy to remove the guesswork from spinal surgery.
The models help surgeons plan for surgeries, and help them in the operating room, to increase the number of safer and less invasive surgeries.
With 3D images, physicians can rotate, zoom and even add and remove sections like bones, muscles and organs to get a better view.
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.
