This article was published while Dr. Poelstra was practicing in Las Vegas, Nevada. He now practices at the National Robotic Spine Institute in Lakeland, Florida.
Leading surgeon and founder of The Robotic Spine Institute of Las Vegas, Dr. Poelstra has completed more than 1,200 successful robotic spine surgeries. He continues to advocate for the use of the Mazor X for pedicle screw placement, targeting decompression trajectories, and interbody cage placement.
He’s quoted as saying, “The future of spine surgery automation is bright.” His conclusion is derived through evidence-based data that helps Poelstra continue his advancements with robotic platforms. He especially believes that augmented reality, stable target positioning, and enhanced capabilities to achieve decompression trajectories will eventually prove to be essential to achieving successful surgical automation with robotics. “Embracing integration of robotics in our current workflow will improve our ability to provide even better, more efficient, and unequivocally consistent high-quality patient care.”
