Conditions Treated with Mazor XTM
The Mazor X TM system is used to treat conditions like spinal stenosis, scoliosis and spondylolisthesis. Patients with these conditions often suffer with debilitating symptoms like:
- Low back pain
- Leg pain
- Sciatica
- Uneven legs, hips or shoulders
- Abnormal gait
- Breathing difficulties when the rib cage puts pressure on the lungs
Benefits of Mazor XTM Robotic Spine Surgery
Mazor X TM incudes three integrated processes – Planning, Guidance and Verification – to assure greater predictability and precision during your procedure. This technology has benefits for patients:
- Gives surgeons the ability to pre-plan your spine surgery using 3D software to create the ideal procedure for every patient’s individualized condition
- Guides the surgeon’s tools according to the pre-determined blueprint to place implants safely and accurately
- Provides a sophisticated visualization system so surgeons can more accurately place hardware during spine procedures
- May reduce the risk of exposure to radiation from imaging typically used during surgery
- Minimizes the likelihood of needing future back surgeries thanks to enhanced precision
- Preserves surrounding healthy tissues and may result in fewer complications, less pain and quicker return to daily activities
This technology is available at Hartford Hospital and MidState Medical Center.
