Robotic spine surgery
For its part, robotic spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses state-of-the-art robotic systems, which greatly improve precision when placing fixation elements in the spine, thereby reducing risks and complications during and after the intervention.
It should not be forgotten that the main risk in a spine intervention is always related to the possibility of damage to nerve tissue. If it were to affect nerve roots, it could cause a loss of strength, a certain degree of paralysis, pain, and a whole series of complications related to the vertebrae themselves. Therefore, robotic surgery offers submillimeter precision, which is achieved by using a guided robotic arm.
At this point, it is worth noting that Dr. Arráez performed the first spine intervention in Andalusia using robotic surgery, through the innovative Mazor system.

Its main benefits include
Greater precision and safety
The robotic system allows the surgeon to plan in advance and execute with submillimeter precision, reducing the risk of errors to near zero when placing implants or screws.
Less tissue damage and faster recovery
Being a minimally invasive technique, less damage is caused to muscles and soft tissues, which translates into less postoperative pain, reduced need for pain relievers, and a faster recovery.
Better long-term results
The combination of surgical precision and lower invasiveness contributes to greater spine stability, a lower rate of complications, and better functional and clinical outcomes for the patient.
