Skipping the Flip: Mazor X Stealth Edition™ OLIF360 Single Position
Why Robotics in Spine Surgery A Discussion with Early Adopters
Mazor X Stealth Edition™ Medical Education
This training lab is led by experienced spine surgeons who have integrated the Mazor X Stealth Edition™ into their practices. Program attendees will gain hands-on experience using the integrated Mazor planning software and navigation as well as placing implants with robotic-guidance. Course emphasis is on understanding the concepts of robotic spine surgery, robotic surgical planning and implant selection, patient and robotic referencing, use of navigated instruments, robotic workflow options, and the integration of the Mazor X Stealth Edition into your practice.
DEFORMITY CORRECTION: LARATTA VS BUCHHOLZ: ANTERIOR VERSUS POSTERIOR
This week's Case Debate Series, hosted by NuVasive, Inc., features a spirited debate regarding the preferred thoracolumbar procedure approach: anterior or posterior? Dr. Joey Laratta, orthopedic surgeon at Norton Letterman Spine Center, argues on behalf of the anterior-approach, highlighting minimally invasive anterior based surgery for adult degenerative scoliosis patients, and Dr. Avery Buchholz, neurosurgeon at University of Virginia, presents the argument in support of the posterior approach, highlighting posterior-only surgery for the same patient population. Today’s moderator is Dr. Reg Haid of Atlanta Brain and Spine Care.
