Spinal surgery is no walk in the park; the invasive procedure can last six to seven hours. However, a recent
Med-Tech Newsarticle discussed a new technology that aims to simplify the operation with the help of augmented reality. Dr. Kornelis Poelstra, director of The Robotic Spine Institute of Las Vegas, led the first-ever posterior lumbar fusion procedure with the help of an augmented reality headset and surgical robot. The headset allowed the surgeon and his team to precisely find the location of the implants.

Pioneering Spine Innovator s Pairing of Augmented Reality Headset with Surgical Robot is a Game Changer in the World of Spine Surgery LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) May 10, 2021 Dr. Kornelis Poelstra, Director of The Robotic Spine Institute of Las Vegas, recently led the first-ever spinal surgery procedure in the world using an xvision augmented reality headset paired with a surgical robot.
Poelstra’s integration of both is a game changer in the field of spine surgery.
Once again serving as the lead innovator in the world of spinal surgery robotics, Dr. Poelstra and his practice, in partnership with The Nevada Spine Clinic, completed the posterior lumbar fusion procedure on a patient using a combination of Medtronic’s Mazor X robotic plat
About MagnetOs bone graft
MagnetOs bone graft has an advanced submicron surface topography that leads to the formation of bone in spinal fusion defects rather than scar tissue. In preclinical models, MagnetOs preferentially directs the body’s early wound healing response toward the bone-forming pathway, an effect that is so potent that bone can be formed even in soft tissues without the need for added cells or growth factors. This ground-breaking research led to Kuros attaining an osteoinductive claim for MagnetOs in Europe. Results from in vitro or in vivo laboratory testing may not be predictive of clinical experience in humans. MagnetOs is not cleared by FDA as an osteoinductive bone graft.
