Dr. Mihir Bapat Nanavati was the first healthcare professional in India to perform minimally invasive spine surgery using the Cirq® arm. Cirq is a medical professional-controlled robotic arm, designed to increase the precision in navigating complex spinal surgeries. On the grounds that then, it has been used in more than 50 procedures. Top spine surgeon Nanavati Hospital Mumbai started out the use of the Cirq in December.

“In spinal surgical operation, accuracy is the entirety. The Cirq arm is a noticeably unique piece of device that allows surgeons to recognize with exact confidence in which to drill and an area vital hardware required to deal with complex spinal situations,” stated Dr. Mihir Bapat Nanavati. “The usage of this technology is likewise more secure for the patient since it cuts down on working time, this means that the patient is under general anesthesia for shorter periods of time.”

The robotic arm weighs 22 pounds and mounts without delay onto any standard operating table. The doctor can then manage and function the arm, which, as soon as aligned to the deliberate trajectory, provides a channel for drilling and pedicle screw placement. Pedicle screws are regularly used in spinal fusions, at the side of rods or plates, to add more guide and period, and immobilize part of the spine by way of holding bony structures together.

The novel technology additionally works in tandem with an intraoperative AIRO CT scanner. Formerly, a patient might have imaging scans accomplished after the surgical treatment was finished. If something wasn’t right, they could then want to go through a second surgery. “Now, we can avoid that with the aid of right now correcting any troubles we see,” added Dr. Mihir Bapat Nanavati.

Cirq is a modular system, that helps methods in various disciplines while flawlessly becoming into surgical navigation and imaging workflows. Any surgical project requires a high stage of fine motor control, accuracy, and stamina. Mainly at some stage in minimally invasive surgical treatment and in complex anatomical regions, surgeons and patients can benefit from the reliability, consistency, and precision of Cirq robotic help.

Dr. Mihir Bapat Nanavati envisions the use of the Cirq for upwards of 1,000 instances a year at both establishments and plans to apply it for cases that include instrumentation, or implants, including rods, screws, plates, cages, or interbody devices. He introduced the technology that will ultimately be used to assist with brain surgical procedures.
