Why Robotic Spine Surgery?

99.9% Accuracy

Robotic arms eliminate human tremor, ensuring implants are placed exactly as planned.

Enhanced Safety

Reduced risk of nerve damage or vascular injury due to precise, pre-planned trajectories.

AI Planning

Sophisticated software analyzes your anatomy to create the perfect surgical blueprint.

Faster Recovery

Minimally invasive incisions + less tissue manipulation = quicker return to life.

Robotic Surgery Workflow

1

CT Scan Planning

A pre-op CT scan is used to create a 3D blueprint of your spine.

2

Robotic Setup

The robotic arm is calibrated to your spine anatomy using AI algorithms.

3

Precise Execution

The surgeon guides the robotic arm to place implants with sub-millimeter accuracy.

4

Verification

Real-time imaging confirms perfect placement before you leave the OT.

5

Rapid Recovery

Less tissue damage means you get out of bed sooner, often the same day.

Who Needs Robotic Spine Surgery?

While many simple spine conditions can be treated with standard endoscopic techniques, robotic assistance is a game-changer for complex cases.

  • Spinal Deformities: Scoliosis or Kyphosis correction.
  • Complex Fractures: Stabilizing broken vertebrae with high precision.
  • Revision Surgery: When previous surgeries have altered the anatomy.
  • Spondylolisthesis: Stabilizing slipped vertebrae (Grade 2 or higher).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is robotic spine surgery?

Robotic spine surgery involves using a robotic arm to assist the surgeon in placing spinal implants (like screws) with extreme precision. The robot does not perform the surgery on its own; it acts as a high-tech guide, enhancing the surgeon’s accuracy and control.

Is robotic spine surgery safer than traditional surgery?

Yes, studies show that robotic guidance significantly improves the accuracy of screw placement (up to 99.9%), reducing the risk of nerve injury and revision surgeries. It also lowers radiation exposure for both the patient and the surgical team.

Does robotic surgery mean the robot does the operation?

No. Dr. Sayuj Krishnan is in full control at all times. The robot is a tool that provides a rigid, precise trajectory for instruments, preventing human tremor or fatigue-related errors during critical steps.

Who is a candidate for robotic spine surgery?

It is ideal for patients requiring spinal fusion, scoliosis correction, tumor surgery, or revision spine surgery. It is especially beneficial for complex anatomies where freehand surgery might be risky.
