Similar results were found when they looked at the insurance claims from robot cases in spine surgery across the country. Taking away a physician’s ability to confirm what they are doing in real-time and requiring a massive setup of hugely expensive equipment is only likely destined to lead to these poorer results. Companies like TrackX Technology help mitigate the same problem (ie-radiation exposure to the patient, physician, and the entire OR team) which actually makes surgery quicker and more accurate is a good start. Likely miniaturization, optimization, and combining the best attributes of each of these different technologies hold the best hope to help all of us get the help we need in terms of quality outcomes in surgery. Here's a video about the platform, how it works, and how it's safer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tftObMt18OY&list=PLqtLSZO9d2iim-2ZfAef01qzO-Asw0uv3&index=40
