It is common for patients to have more than one level of the disc in the neck (cervical spine) wear out. When multiple levels need to be included in the surgical plan, the traditional surgical approach in the past has been to fuse each level. Taking away the motion at two or more consecutive levels…
As presented at the annual conference of the International Society for the Advancements of Spine Surgery (ISASS) we are proud to report these powerful findings with regards to artificial intelligence and the algorithm that can improve physician workflow efficiency and reduce inter-rater and intra-rater measurement errors. This research was presented at the ISASS annual conference…
Spine Surgeon Dr. Christopher Good began a groundbreaking, landmark study in 2014 on the benefits of robotics in spine surgery. He led a prospective, multicenter, randomized study comparing robotic-guided spine surgery to a control group (no robotic guidance). The objective was to assess rates of complications, revision surgery, and radiation between Mazor robotic-guidance (RG) and…
If you’re experiencing arm pain (radiating, burning, tingling and numbness) along with neck pain it’s important to reach out to a spine specialist. That set of symptoms could be a sign of symptomatic nerve or spinal cord compression. If non-operative treatment options like anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, exercise, weight loss or spinal injections don’t fix…

Augmented reality may sound like science fiction, but its revolutionary technology is allowing spine surgeons to see more than ever. WTOP News consulted VSI’s Dr. Good and Dr. Jazini to uncover the benefits of this new technology being deemed the future of spine surgery. Using a special headset, the AR “Xvision” made by Augmedics, VSI’s…
Highly innovative spine surgery isn’t a thing of the future; it’s happening right here at VSI. WTOP consulted VSI’s very own Augmented Reality (AR) pioneers, Dr. Good and Dr. Jazini, to dive into the benefits of augmented reality and how it has completely changed the game for modern spine surgery. This cutting edge, minimally invasive…
As seen in Becker’s Spine Review. On the back of two-year data comparing the M6-C cervical disc with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion published in The Spine Journal, eight surgeons discuss the future of total disc replacement in spine: Becker’s Asks: How do you see disc replacement developing in the next five to 10 years? Colin…
Ready to bring the future of robotics into 2021! Many spine surgeries are utilizing robotics to ensure even greater enhanced recovery and minimally invasive surgeries, including some of the procedures I perform in the operating room. As the world of spine surgery technology expands, what are some of the things that are essential to know…
