BLK-Max introduces advanced integrated robotic system for spine surgery, Health News, ET HealthWorld

New Delhi: BLK-Max Super Specialty Hospital introduced an advanced integrated robotic system for spine surgery. The software platform is designed to increase the safety and accuracy of spine surgery and provides support to the spine surgical suite where precision and accuracy are key factors for best outcomes.

The technology utilises artificial intelligence (AI) to visualise spinal anatomy during complex surgeries. Robotic surgeries allow data integration which comes in handy during these spine surgeries and doctors can customise the surgical plan for an individual patient. The integrated spinal robot is programmed to navigate spinal surgeries. Additionally, this is the only robotic system that combines surgical navigation and robotic guidance for spinal surgery, which offers significant advantages to spine surgeons. The system has been designed to facilitate procedural efficiency. Robotic surgeries make the procedure more objective as its more plan-driven.

“In today’s advanced medical times’ robotic spinal surgeries are the safest route for procedures that require extreme precision and accuracy. They not only promise positive outcomes but also involve minimal complications throughout the surgery,” said Dr Puneet Girdhar, Senior Director & Head, Orthopaedic Spine Surgery, BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital.

Adding, Dr Anil Kansal – Sr Director & Head, Neuro Surgery & Neuro Spine, BLK-Max Centre for Neurosciences, BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi said, “Robotic-assisted surgeries will significantly improve surgical outcomes of complex surgeries due to an advanced level of precision. The main fear in spine surgery is an adverse result due to the malplacement of screws. These complications can be now avoided completely by using robotic spine surgery by placing screws accurately and faster with the most desired outcome.”

Commenting on the launch, Dr Mradul Kaushik, Senior Director of Operations and Planning and Chief Operating Officer, Cluster-1, Max Healthcare said, “Robot-assisted surgeries have become a key tool for healthcare professionals to perform surgeries and are now being used for almost all specialities. We are excited to expand our robotic surgery programme and introduce India’s most advanced integrated spinal robot navigation system for spine surgeries at BLK-Max Hospital.”
