Here are three notes:
1. Huntsville physicians are using the Mazor X system to perform various spine surgeries. To date, the hospital has performed four surgeries.
2. The advanced navigation system minimizes blood loss, tissue retraction and tissue trauma. Additionally, patients who undergo surgery with the Mazor X system have shorter recovery times.
3. Mazor X also saves physicians time during surgery. Brian Scholl, MD, a spine surgeon at Huntsville told WAAY 31, “When someone has a big scoliosis and you have to place 24 screws it takes 30 minutes to place. The [Mazor X system] can do it in 10 minutes.”
