Navigation-Assisted Spine Surgery

Navigation-assisted spine surgery uses 3D navigation and imaging to guide the surgeon during procedures. This advanced technology acts like a GPS system for your spine, providing real-time, detailed views of the surgical area. It helps the surgeon plan and perform precise, minimally invasive surgeries.

How Does 3D Navigation Work?

  1. Pre-Surgical Imaging: A CT or MRI scan is taken before the surgery to create a detailed 3D map of your spine.

  2. Real-Time Navigation: During the surgery, the navigation system displays the exact position of surgical instruments and implants on a screen, ensuring accuracy.

  3. Enhanced Visualization: The 3D imaging provides a clear and magnified view of the spine, allowing the surgeon to work with precision while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Who Can Benefit from Navigation-Assisted Spine Surgery?

Patients with complex spine conditions or those requiring precision for implant placement are ideal candidates. Whether you’re a young individual with a spinal deformity or an older adult with degenerative changes, this advanced technology ensures safer and more effective treatment.

Benefits of 3D Navigation-Assisted Spine Surgery

  1. Increased Accuracy: The technology ensures precise placement of screws, implants, and other surgical tools.

  2. Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions are needed, which means less pain, scarring, and a faster recovery.

  3. Reduced Risk: Real-time guidance minimizes the risk of complications, such as nerve damage or misplaced implants.

  4. Faster Recovery: With better precision and less tissue disruption, patients typically recover more quickly.

  5. Better Outcomes: Patients experience improved pain relief and long-term results due to the accuracy of the procedure.

What Happens During the Procedure?

  1. Planning: Before the surgery, detailed imaging scans are used to plan the procedure.

  2. Surgical Navigation: During the operation, the navigation system continuously updates the surgeon with real-time visuals.

  3. Precise Execution: Using this guidance, the surgeon performs the procedure with unparalleled precision.

  4. Completion: Once the surgery is complete, the incision is closed, and the patient is taken to recovery.
