What is it?
O-Arm navigated spine surgery uses a special 3D imaging system called the O-Arm along with computer navigation. It gives the surgeon real-time, high-quality 3D images of the spine during the operation.
How does it work?
The O-Arm machine takes 3D scans of the patient’s spine right in the operating room.
These images are sent to a navigation system (like a GPS).
The surgeon uses this “GPS-guided map” to place screws and implants with extremely high accuracy.
It helps avoid critical nerves and tissues while ensuring correct alignment.
Why is it safer?
Reduces chances of errors
Minimal risk of nerve injury
Better implant positioning
Smaller incisions & faster recovery in many cases
