Faster healing with robotic-assisted surgery
When surgery feels overwhelming, even a small step forward can bring hope. That’s why your care team uses techniques like minimally invasive, and robotic surgery, that are designed to be gentler on your body, so healing can begin sooner.
With smaller incisions and tools that offer greater precision, your surgeon can treat what’s needed while protecting what’s healthy. That means less pain, fewer complications, and a shorter road back to your life.
Every image. Every move. Every moment in the OR is guided by a detailed view of your unique anatomy, helping your team act with confidence and giving you peace of mind.
Advanced Technology for Nerve and Spine Care
CHRISTUS neurosurgeons use the latest imaging systems, navigation tools, and minimally invasive techniques to treat nerve-related spine conditions. These innovations make surgery safer, more precise, and designed for faster recovery.
Real-Time Imaging and Surgical Precision
- Medtronic O-arm: Provides high-resolution 2D and 3D imaging during surgery, giving surgeons a real-time, detailed view of the spine for improved accuracy and safety.
- StealthStation Navigation System: Offers computer-guided precision, allowing surgeons to visualize the spine in real time and perform complex procedures with greater accuracy.
Minimally Invasive Techniques for Faster Recovery
- Joimax Endoscopes and Tubular Retractors: Allow for ultra-minimally invasive procedures, reducing incision size, tissue disruption, and recovery time.
- Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion (ALIF, XLIF, OLIF): Stabilizes the spine with smaller incisions and less muscle disruption, leading to reduced post-surgical pain and faster healing.
- Single-Position Surgery (Prone XLIF): Streamlines the procedure, minimizing time in surgery while optimizing spinal alignment and stability for improved outcomes.
Precision Tools for Safer Surgery
- Misonix Ultrasonic Precision Tools: Enable targeted nerve decompression while preserving surrounding tissue, reducing pain, and promoting a smoother recovery.
