Hackensack University Medical Center is pleased to announce that
the state-of-the-art guidance system for spine surgery, Mazor
Robotics Renaissance®, arrived for installation in the medical
center's main operating room. HackensackUMC will be the first
hospital in New Jersey to offer Mazor Robotics Renaissance Spine
Surgery. "HackensackUMC remains committed to embracing new
technology and innovation to better care for our patients," said
Robert C. Garrett, president and chief executive officer,
Hackensack University Health Network. "Our medical center offers a
world-class team of physicians who collaborate across a wide
spectrum of specialties. Both our neurosurgery and orthopaedic
teams will have the opportunity to use Mazor Robotics Renaissance
to improve upon the award-winning surgical care that we provide.
Both departments are able to share best practices to offer the best
treatment plan for addressing back pain in patients." Mazor
Robotics technology has been clinically validated to ensure 1.5mm
accuracy for increased patient safety as compared to freehand spine
surgery. Before entering the operating room, surgeons use
Renaissance to pre-plan the optimal surgery in a CT-based 3-D
simulation of the patient's spine. During surgery, Renaissance
guides the surgeon's hand and tools to the precise pre-planned
location. In a recent multicenter study published in Spine journal,
investigators stated that Mazor Robotics technology "offers
enhanced performance in spinal surgery when compared to freehand
surgeries, by increasing placement accuracy and reducing neurologic
risks."1 It also may reduce the use of fluoroscopy in
minimally-invasive procedures.2 Patrick A. Roth, M.D., chairman of
Neurosurgery at HackensackUMC added, "Spinal surgery should always
be viewed as a last option, as there are always risks and
complications involved in any type of surgery. However, our
patients can rest assured knowing that if the need arises for
surgery, HackensackUMC provides a minimally-invasive procedure,
using the most-advanced technology available." Minimally-invasive
procedures can mean less pain, smaller incisions, shorter
hospitalizations and faster recovery for patients. Smaller
incisions usually pose a challenge to surgeons due to the lack of
direct line-of-vision, and can require many intraoperative X-rays
to compensate for this. Renaissance Guidance System helps to
overcome these challenges, providing patients with the best
possible clinical results, and with less use of fluoroscopy. "To be
the first hospital in New Jersey offering Mazor Robotics
Renaissance Spine Surgery is truly a testament to HackensackUMC's
commitment to remaining at the forefront in utilizing technology
for the benefit of our patients in New Jersey and beyond," said
Michael A. Kelly, M.D., chairman of Orthopaedic Surgery at
HackensackUMC. For more information about Mazor Robotics Spine
