Minimally Invasive
Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is a type of spine surgery that requires smaller incisions and does less damage to muscles and tissue. In these procedures, doctors use specialized instruments to access the spine through small incisions. The goal of minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery is to stabilize the vertebral bones and spinal joints and/or relieve pressure being applied to the spinal nerves — often a result of conditions such as spinal instability, bone spurs, herniated discs, scoliosis or spinal tumors. This type of surgery uses smaller incisions than standard surgery which often causes less harm to nearby muscles and other tissues. It can lead to less pain and faster recovery after surgery.
Mazor Robotics helps surgeons perform spinal surgery with greater precision and safety. The system allows doctors to plan the surgery in detail before it starts, using a 3D model of the patient’s spine. During the procedure, the robot assists the surgeon in guiding instruments and placing implants more accurately. This technology reduces the risk of complications, minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, and helps patients recover faster. Overall, Mazor Robotics makes spinal surgeries safer and more effective.
