UCI Health marks historic milestone in spine surgery |
|
|
UCI Health spine surgeon Dr. Don Y. Park has performed the world's first endoscopic lumbar fusion with fully integrated augmented-reality technology. During the ultra-minimally invasive procedure, he wore an AR headset with high-definition endoscopic video displaying alongside the patient’s MRI images and electronic medical record directly in his field of vision, allowing him to focus on the surgical field without the need to view multiple monitors or step away from the operating table. “With the ability to overlay critical information in real time, AR enhances the surgeon’s situational awareness and workflow,” Park said. “We expect its integration in spine surgery to become more common, especially in endoscopic procedures to decompress delicate spinal nerves, where detailed visualization and ergonomics are crucial.” |
