Three highlights:
1. MSC is the second surgery center in the country to introduce the Mazor X Stealth Edition, which allows surgeons to create personalized 3D surgical plans before surgery. A robotic arm holds surgical instrumentation in place during spine procedures.

3. The technology was also purchased by UC San Diego Health; UnityPoint Health-Methodist in Peoria, Ill.; and The Spine Center of Excellence at Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast in Miramar, Fla.
