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 accuracy when placing spinal fixation elements, thereby reducing risks and complications during and after the procedure.
It's important to remember that the main risk in spinal surgery is always related to the possibility of damage to nerve tissue. If nerve roots were affected, it could cause loss of strength, a degree of paralysis, pain, and a whole range of complications related to the vertebrae themselves. For this reason, robotic surgery offers sub-millimetre precision, which is achieved by a guided robotic arm.
At this point, it is worth noting that Dr. Arráez carried out the first spinal procedure in Andalusia using robotic surgery, through the innovative Mazor system.

Among its main benefits are
Greater precision and security
The robotic system allows the surgeon to plan in advance and execute with sub-millimetre precision, reducing the risk of errors in the placement of implants or screws to almost zero.
Less tissue damage and faster recovery
As a minimally invasive technique, less damage is caused to muscles and soft tissues, resulting in less postoperative pain, a reduced need for painkillers, and a faster recovery.
Better long-term results
The combination of surgical precision and minimal invasiveness contributes to greater spinal stability, a lower complication rate, and improved functional and clinical outcomes for the patient.
