The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Spine Surgery

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has driven advances in robotic surgery. AI enhances the accuracy and precision of surgical procedures such as spinal surgeries. Robotics involvement in spinal surgery assists the surgeons in determining what is happening during a complicated surgery by providing real-time data points about the surgeon's movements during the procedure.

AI maximizes the value of state-of-the-art spine care by improving quality and minimizing costs to the patient. The precision of robotic‐assisted surgeries offers more protection to the surrounding soft tissues, enabling the preservation of healthy bone while accurately and safely placing spinal implants using high precision placements to keep essential structures such as nerves protected. 

The potential that artificial intelligence has to improve surgical execution and patient-reported outcomes is substantial. Robotic spinal surgery offers minimal surgical trauma and fewer complaints of pain, complications, or decreases blood loss and time in surgery. Patients return to their daily lives faster, translating to higher patient satisfaction1

If you suffer from chronic spinal pain that does not seem to be improving with conservative nonsurgical treatments, book an appointment with Dr. Payam Moazzaz to find out if you might be a candidate for robotic surgery. Dr. Moazzaz is an industry leader in robotic spine surgery in California, having performed 655 robotic spine surgeries with more than 4,500 spinal implants delivering compassionate, personalized spine care that’s right for you.  

Dr Payam Moazzaz specializes in advanced minimally invasive spine surgery that enables successful returns to active lifestyles. For all appointments, please call (760) 904 5444.
