Greater Precision
Robotics assists the surgeon in executing planned movements with high accuracy, especially when placing implants.
Robotic Surgery
Technology and precision in spine treatment
In an increasingly technological world, medicine evolves with the implementation of innovative solutions that directly impact patient safety and recovery during surgical procedures.
Robotic spine surgery revolutionized orthopedics by allowing faster, more accurate, and minimally invasive procedures, reducing risks of bleeding, infections, and accelerating rehabilitation.
With the help of advanced robotic systems, it is possible to obtain a highly detailed view of the patient's anatomy, providing greater assertiveness in surgical decisions.

CONCEPT
WHAT IS ROBOTIC SPINE SURGERY?
Surgeon-assisted technology
Robotic spine surgery is an innovative medical approach that uses advanced robotic systems to assist the surgeon during operative procedures. It combines the specialist's expertise with navigation features, three-dimensional imaging, and robotic arms, allowing for a more precise and planned execution.
Unlike techniques performed solely manually or guided by conventional methods, robotics helps reduce the natural instability of the hands and guides implant placement to the exact position planned by the doctor.
PROCEDURE STAGES
HOW ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY ASSISTS THE SURGEON
The robotic system does not make decisions on its own. It functions under the surgeon's command, following the planning previously established based on the patient's anatomy.
Planning with 3D Images
Advanced anatomical visualization
The procedure is planned with the support of three-dimensional images and navigation technologies, allowing a detailed view of the spine anatomy.
Full Surgeon Control
The robot does not operate alone
The surgeon controls the system throughout the entire procedure and defines each step of the surgery.
Robotic Arms Assistance
More structural stability
The mechanical arms help execute the planned path, reducing the natural instability of human hands.
Precise Implant Placement
Execution according to plan
The technology directs the placement of implants, such as screws, to the exact position planned by the specialist.
BENEFITS
PRECISION, SAFETY, AND LESS SURGICAL TRAUMA
The benefits of robotic surgery are related to the union of planning, technology, and medical experience. The indication must always be individualized after assessment by the specialist.
More Safety
The use of navigation and three-dimensional images contributes to a more controlled and planned procedure.
Lower Radiation Exposure
The technology can reduce the need for multiple images during surgery, lowering exposure for the patient and team.
Less Surgical Trauma
By allowing more precise and less invasive approaches, it can reduce damage to tissues near the spine.
Smoother Post-Operative
With less aggression to tissues, the patient may experience less pain and a more comfortable recovery.
Earlier Mobilization
In many cases, the technology can favor a faster resumption of mobility, always according to medical guidance.
INDICATIONS
FOR WHICH CASES CAN ROBOTIC SURGERY BE INDICATED?
According to analyzed content, the technology can be considered primarily in spine surgeries involving the placement of implants, such as screws.
Herniated discs
Spinal stenosis
Vertebral fractures
Scoliosis and spinal deformities
General degenerative spinal diseases
Lumbar spine arthrodesis
Arthrodese revision surgeries
Posterior cervical arthrodesis
The decision depends on an individualized evaluation, exams, medical diagnosis, and guidance from the specialist.
COMPARISON
TRADITIONAL SURGERY AND ROBOTIC SURGERY
Traditional technique
Robotic surgery
Manual execution or guided by conventional imaging methods.
Planning with 3D images and robotic navigation assistance.
Greater dependence on manual stability during the procedure.
Reduction of natural hand instability through robotic arms.
May require greater use of intraoperative imaging.
Can reduce radiation exposure by decreasing the need for multiple images.
Implant placement depends exclusively on manual execution.
Implant placement follows the path previously planned by the surgeon.
SPINE SPECIALIST
DR. NELSON ASTUR NETO
Spine Surgery • Robotic Technology
Dr. Nelson Astur Neto works in treating spinal diseases and presents robotic surgery as a technology that unites innovation, planning, and precision to assist the surgeon in complex procedures.
Medical practice
Spinal treatments with an individualized approach and focus on careful evaluation of each patient.
Technology
Use of modern resources for planning, navigation, and robotic assistance in spine surgery.
Individual evaluation
Robotic surgery is not automatically indicated for all cases. The patient must undergo evaluation with the specialist to understand if this technology makes sense for their condition.
IMPORTANT CARE
MEDICAL GUIDANCE AND RECOVERY
Recovery Varies per Patient
Recovery time depends on the complexity of the procedure, prior health status, and each patient's individual response.
Guided Post-Operative Care
After surgery, the patient must follow medical recommendations, avoid strain, maintain good posture, and perform physical therapy when indicated.
Medical Indication
Only a specialized evaluation can determine if robotic surgery is suitable for the diagnosis and treatment goals.
FAQ
COMMON DOUBTS ABOUT ROBOTIC SURGERY
Does the robot perform the surgery alone?
No. The robot does not operate alone. The spine surgeon controls the entire system. The technology acts as a supportive tool to execute planning with more precision.
What is robotic spine surgery?
It is a surgical approach that utilizes robotic systems, three-dimensional imaging, and navigation technology to assist the surgeon during spinal procedures.
What are the main benefits of robotic surgery?
Among the cited benefits are greater precision, less instability during implant placement, lower radiation exposure, less surgical trauma, and the possibility of a smoother recovery.
Is recovery always faster?
Recovery can be optimized in many cases, but it varies according to the complexity of the surgery, the patient's health status, and adherence to post-operative medical guidelines.
For which cases can it be indicated?
It can be considered in spine surgeries requiring implants, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, fractures, scoliosis, degenerative diseases, and fusions.
Can every patient undergo robotic surgery?
Not necessarily. The indication must be individualized after evaluation with a spine surgeon, considering the diagnosis, exams, and clinical conditions of the patient.
