Mazor X—More Precise Spine Surgery with a Faster Recovery

Living with back pain can be debilitating, and recovery from spine surgery was once a long process. The Mazor X is changing how you look at back surgery. Spine surgery using the Mazor X technology can help minimize trauma to the body, reduce pain and make recovery time shorter. 

Working together, St. Elizabeth Healthcare and the Mayfield Brain & Spine surgeons were the first team in the region to offer you spine surgery using Mazor X technology.

Mazor X can be used to treat: 

  • Spinal Stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Herniated disc
  • Scoliosis or curvature of the spine
  • Vertebral fractures

Benefits of Mazor X Technology  

Compared to traditional spine surgery, Mazor X benefits include:

  • Enhanced precision minimizes the need for future back surgeries.
  • Increase surgical accuracy helps preserve surrounding healthy tissues. 
  • Increased precision can mean less pain during surgery and recovery, fewer complications and quicker return to improved back function.
  • Reduces radiation exposure from imaging used during traditional back surgery.

How Does Mazor X Work?

Mazor X is not a type of surgery but a guidance system that assists with the positioning of surgical instruments and spinal implants. It guides the surgeon before, during and after surgery. The Mazor X system offers:

  • Planning: Giving the surgeon the ability to pre-plan your spine surgery using 3D software. An individualized treatment plan is created prior to surgery based on the results of the 3D study.
  • Guidance: An arm mounted to the patient is used along with a 3D optical tracking camera to guide the surgical tools according to the surgical plan. This visualization system allows surgeons to more accurately place hardware during spine procedures.
