Latest Spine Center Technology

Sophisticated Technology, Advanced Spine Care

Always at the forefront of state-of-the-art surgical techniques, the Spine Center at The Miriam Hospital is the only provider in the state to offer the latest in robotic technology, including the Medtronic Mazor X Stealth robotic guidance platform, the Stealth AXiS Surgical System and the UNiD Adaptive Spine Intelligence (ASI) platform. This combination of cutting-edge technology is available at just a handful of spine centers across the US, and allows for advanced surgical planning, smaller incisions, precision accuracy and faster recovery times.

Mazor X Stealth Robotic Surgery Platform

The Medtronic Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic guidance platform for spine surgery is a highly advanced platform combining advanced surgical planning software, robotic guidance, and navigation to achieve smaller incisions and faster recovery times.

Why do our surgeons use Mazor X Stealth Technology? The potential benefits of the platform include: 

• 3D planning functionality, which allows surgeons to design an optimal surgery in a CT-based simulation of the patient’s spine.
• Robotic guidance, which utilizes a robotic arm to help the surgeon execute the surgical plan with exceptional precision.
• Stealth navigation, providing the surgeon with real-time, intraoperative imaging feedback. 
• A design that enhances the surgeon’s skills, delivering greater control and superior precision.
• Less exposure to radiation for both patients and staff.
• Reduced risk of complications.
• Less pain following surgery.
• Shorter hospital stay and recovery time.
   

Spinal Surgeries Assisted by Mazor X Stealth

The Mazor X Stealth platform is commonly employed for spinal surgeries such as:

• Anterior and lateral lumbar interbody fusion 
• Posterior lumbar and thoracic fusion
• Minimally invasive lumbar decompression, discectomy, and cervical decompression
• Correction of scoliosis, kyphosis, flatback, and cervical deformity
• Repair of pseudarthrosis
• Spinal osteotomy
• Minimally invasive screw placement
• Spinal fracture fixation
• Spine tumor resection

The Most Advanced Surgical Planning Technology for Personalized Spine Care

The Spine Center at The Miriam Hospital also uses the most advanced surgical planning technology to deliver personalized spine care to its patients – Medtronic’s Stealth AXiS Surgical System and the UNiD Adaptive Spine Intelligence (ASI) platform. Our surgeons are among the first in the nation to adopt this advanced technology and apply it to patient-specific planning.

Before each surgery, the surgeon creates a detailed, individualized surgical plan tailored to each patient’s anatomy and clinical goals. Surgeons can visualize the precise correction they intend to achieve, select, or design patient-specific implants, and refine the approach well in advance of the procedure.

During surgery, the Stealth AXiS system supports highly accurate execution of that plan. This technology enhances hardware placement and improves alignment with the preoperative strategy, helping surgeons achieve consistent, durable outcomes.

After surgery, the Spine Center at The Miriam Hospital team compares the planned results with post-operative imaging to evaluate accuracy and measure success. 

The platform provides the following potential benefits:

• Enables detailed, patient-specific surgical planning before the procedure begins.
• Supports precise execution through navigation and optional robotic guidance.
• Provides real-time intraoperative feedback to confirm alignment without additional radiation.
• Uses patient-specific rods and imaging tools to guide and verify corrections.
• Offers post-operative analytics to measure outcomes and refine future procedures.

This technology helps our surgeons deliver greater accuracy and consistency across a wide range of spinal conditions, including:

• Minimally invasive spine surgery for degenerative spine conditions needing decompression or fusion procedures.
• Adult spinal deformities, including scoliosis and alignment disorders.
• Complex spinal conditions that require revision surgery following a previous procedure.
• Multilevel degenerative disease affecting multiple areas of the spine.
• Severe spinal instability or structural problems requiring reconstruction and corrective surgery.

By combining advanced imaging, data-driven planning, and precise intraoperative guidance, the Spine Center at The Miriam Hospital continues to push the boundaries in advanced orthopedic care. As we continue to invest in leading-edge technology and expert training, the center remains committed to improving accuracy, enhancing recovery, and restoring quality of life for every patient.
