In a groundbreaking spinal operation, medical professionals at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center successfully merged cutting-edge augmented reality and robotic technology.
In order to treat an unstable spinal fracture, the surgical team was supervised by spine neurosurgeon Dr. Cezar J. Mizrahi.
The 25-year-old patient had a working accident that resulted in a significant spinal damage. The patient was diagnosed with an unstable spine fracture, endangering his mobility and neurological health, and Mizrahi was summoned.
AR combines digital data with the user’s perception of the physical world, such as computer-generated images, movies, sounds, or other data. AR enriches the actual world by superimposing digital features on it, in contrast to virtual reality (VR), which immerses users in an entirely virtual environment.
It required Mizrahi to put on a particular headgear. The medical professional compared the experience to that of a combat pilot wearing a cutting-edge helmet.
Mizrahi was able to plan and carry out the surgery with incredible precision because to this knowledge, making the required corrections as it went along.
This patient benefited directly from the combination of those new breakthroughs, which greatly improved healthcare for the residents of Jerusalem and beyond, to our great satisfaction, Mizrahi added.
The patient commented, “The procedure was successful, and we are very appreciative of Dr. Mizrahi’s care. “Before the operation, we were really anxious and unsure of what would happen. I can now walk. I’m eternally thankful to Dr. Mizrahi for visiting me on a frequent basis.
