The Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach recently added a “7D” surgical system used in spinal procedures, making it the first West Coast hospital to do so.
The system contains the same technology found in self-driving cars, according to a news release, enabling a surgeon to have an “unprecedented level of surgical navigation for radiation-free placement of spinal implants.”
The technology allows for faster, safer surgery with a reduced recovery time for patients, according to Hoag.
