Dr. Ronald Lehman is first in NYC to Perform PROlat(TM) Procedure with Mazor Robotics Technology
June 14 2016 - 4:37AM
Mazor Robotics, a developer of innovative surgical guidance systems
and complementary products, today announced that Dr. Ronald Lehman
was the first in New York City to perform a PROlat™ procedure using
the Mazor Robotics Renaissance® Guidance System. Dr. Lehman used
the technology to assist in a lateral procedure and found
significant savings in both operating room time and use of
fluoroscopy.
The PROlat solution by Mazor Robotics allows for improved
efficiency of lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) with the
planning and guidance of Renaissance. For non-staged LLIFs, pedicle
screws may be placed in a lateral decubitus position following
interbody fusion. By eliminating the need to flip the patient into
prone position, this can save time in the OR and streamline the
procedure.
"The PROlat™ solution by Mazor Robotics will transform the way
antepsoas and lateral spine surgery is performed," said Dr. Lehman,
nationally acclaimed orthopaedic surgeon. "Technology has never
been able to save me time in the OR, but during my first case with
PROlat, we saved over an hour of time without having to flip the
patient. It was a seamless and easy integration."
Dr. Lehman also documented that only seven (7) seconds of
fluoroscopy was used during the procedure – a significant reduction
compared to what would have been used with standard fluoroscopy or
navigation (which requires an intraoperative CT scan) – and, in
turn, lowered radiation exposure for surgeon and staff.
"Dr. Lehman is a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery with tenure,
the Chief of Degenerative, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine
Surgery, and a leading national and international spine surgeon.
His adoption of the Renaissance system continues to validate the
clinical value proposition of our technology," said Ori Hadomi,
Mazor Robotics CEO.
