Why use Robotics in Spine Surgery?

Robotics is increasingly being used in a variety of surgical environments. Robotics in spine surgery is emerging in the U.S. and around the world as one of the next major advancements in spine. Why?

• 10% of pedicle screws inserted free-hand are misplaced¹
• Demand continues to grow for minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery
• Increased focus on patient safety and post-surgical recovery
• Need for clinicians and hospitals to prove optimal clinical outcomes
• Reduces radiation exposure for surgeons and staff
• Desire for clinician/hospital differentiation

The Renaissance™ is a specially-designed robotic guidance system which enables surgeons and hospitals to perform spine surgeries that help address these demands.
