Mazor X Stealth Robotics

A Minimally Invasive Approach to Spinal Surgery

Onslow Memorial Hospital now offers minimally invasive spine surgery with the Mazor X™ Stealth Robotic Guidance System. The Mazor X provides patients with access to cutting-edge technology and offers the opportunity to experience spine surgery in a completely new way.

Why Minimally Invasive is Better

Smaller incisions mean less trauma to the body, better preserving healthy tissue and diminishing the need for future spine surgeries. They also provide an easier road to recovery and cut down on time spent in the hospital to help you get back to the things you love.

Patient Benefits

• Reduced pain and shortened recovery time – Smaller incisions lead to less post- operative pain and faster healing.
• Increased accuracy, decreasing complications during and after surgery – The precision of robotic guidance improves surgical outcomes.
• Enhanced precision – The system allows for highly detailed preoperative planning and real-time guidance.
• Reduced radiation exposure – Compared to traditional spine surgeries, the Mazor X system minimizes radiation exposure from imaging equipment, ensuring a safer environment for both patients and surgeons.

Advanced Technology for Better Outcomes

The Mazor X robotic system integrates state-of-the-art imaging and navigation technology to enhance surgical precision. By using detailed preoperative scans, the system creates a patient- specific surgical plan, ensuring each step is carefully mapped out before the procedure even begins. This level of accuracy allows surgeons to place implants and perform spinal procedures with greater confidence and reduced risk of complications.

Revolutionary, But There's Still a Surgeon in Control

The Mazor X is a surgical robot that provides the surgeon with 3D planning, guidance, and analytical tools. Before surgery, the system analyzes patient scans to assist the surgeon in creating a detailed preoperative plan. During surgery, the surgeon utilizes a robotic arm to guide tools and implants, which improves accuracy and provides an efficient and smooth surgery.

The Mazor X is a third-generation surgical robot and eighth-generation navigation system that builds on years of experience. In collaboration with Medtronic™, creators of the Mazor X, the Onslow Memorial surgical team is leveraging its knowledge and expertise to deliver enhanced care to patients across Eastern North Carolina.

Who Can Benefit From Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Minimally invasive spine surgery with the Mazor X system is ideal for patients suffering from conditions such as:

• Herniated discs – Reducing pain and pressure on spinal nerves.
• Spinal stenosis – Creating more space for the spinal cord and nerves.
• Degenerative disc disease – Providing stability and reducing discomfort.
• Scoliosis and spinal deformities – Enhancing alignment and correcting abnormalities.
• Spinal fractures – Offering a less invasive approach to stabilizing the spine.

Commitment to Innovation and Patient Care

Onslow Memorial Hospital is committed to offering the latest medical technology to improve patient outcomes. The introduction of the Mazor X Stealth Robotic Guidance System reflects our dedication to providing safer, more effective, and minimally invasive options for spinal surgery. By combining expertise with advanced robotics, we strive to enhance surgical precision, reduce recovery time, and improve the overall patient experience the specialized care they deserve.
