NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Sean McCance, founder and director of Spine Associates of NYC (located on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, NY) announced that his orthopedic spine surgery practice has seen a steady and significant rise in requests for minimally invasive spine surgery via computer assisted technology.
In a significant leap forward for orthopedic spine surgery, the integration of computer-assisted technology is revolutionizing surgical practices, enhancing precision, and improving patient outcomes. This innovative approach leverages advanced imaging and navigation systems to provide surgeons with the tools necessary for complex procedures.
Computer assisted surgery (typically referred to as CAS) employs the use of ultra-modern digital cameras, computers with specialized navigation software, super clear monitors to view the spine surgery in real-time, and specialized instrumentation. Dr. McCance stated, "I have been using computer assisted technology for many years and it is interesting to recognize that during my consultations, many of my patients inquire if I use CAS".
Dr. McCance acknowledged that he frequently uses computer assisted spine surgery when performing surgeries such as spinal fusion, revision spine surgery, scoliosis surgery, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, herniated disc microsurgery and spine fracture surgery.
In 2022, the National Library of Medicine published an article, "Trends in the Charges and Utilization of Computer-Assisted Navigation in Cervical and Thoracolumbar Spinal Surgery", which acknowledged, "The use of computer-assisted navigation in spinal surgery increased significantly from 2015 to 2018"."On, October, 10, 2024, MedTech Outlook, published, "Robotics in Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) in Orthopedics" where they concluded that CAS enhances the spine surgeon's precision and decreases the patient's risk of complications.
Key advantages of computer-assisted technology include:
- Precision and Accuracy: Surgeons benefit from enhanced imaging capabilities that allow for more accurate placement of screws and implants, reducing the risk of surgical errors.
As these advancements continue to shape the future of orthopedic spine surgery, patients can look forward to safer, more effective treatment options that enhance their quality of life.
