NEWPORT NEWS, Va. â Cutting-edge technology offered at Riverside Regional Medical Center is a game changer for surgeons performing serious and complicated procedures on the spine.
âItâs an incremental step forward, but itâs definitely something thatâs relatively new to spinal surgery,â said Riverside neurosurgeon Jackson Salvant, M.D.
The device is known as the Mazor X.
âPeople who have lower back pain, either from degeneration of the joints and discs, neck pain from the same conditions, also people who have spinal injuries, or have tumors that affect the spine, all of those conditions would lend themselves very well to utilizing this technique,â Salvant said.
