Emerging Technologies in Spine Surgery-Spinal Navigation: Evolution of a Spinal Oncology Practice at One Center

Spinal Navigation: Evolution of a Spinal Oncology Practice at One Center

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Malhotra from the University of Pennsylvania discusses the evolution of navigation and combinatorial strategies in surgical procedures. He focuses on the use of navigation for osteotomies, particularly in cases of unblocked resections for tumors. Dr. Malhotra explains the advantages of unblocked resections over intralesional ones and shares case studies to illustrate his points. He also discusses the tools and techniques used for osteotomies, including the use of ultrasonic bone-cutting devices and navigation systems. Dr. Malhotra concludes by talking about the learning curve for these procedures and the collaboration with ENT colleagues for transoral robotic approaches.
