The launch builds on the growing adoption of Smith+Nephew’s surgical robots in Japan, according to a news release. In 2019, Japan adopted Smith+Nephew’s Navio robot for knee replacements.

Cori uses 3D intraoperative imaging and a robotic milling tool to sculpt bone and preserve a patient’s anatomy. It digitally automates measurements and surgical plans for each patient, the release said.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 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.
