New breakthrough in spinal surgery: Sanitas incorporates the Mazor robot
Sanitas Hospitals continues to strengthen its position as a leader in surgical innovation with the arrival of the Mazor robotic system, a state-of-the-art platform designed to support spine surgery specialists through three-dimensional planning and advanced precision tools.
In September, Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital performed the first procedure using this technology, under the direction of Dr. Rafael González, an expert in traumatology and orthopedic surgery. This procedure marks a new era in the group's robotic trauma surgery, reaffirming Sanitas' commitment to technological solutions that increase safety and improve clinical outcomes for patients.
The Mazor system offers intraoperative robotic guidance, allowing implants to be placed with sub-millimeter precision. This reduces the risk of complications and promotes faster recovery. During surgery, a robotic arm articulates the exact direction of the instruments according to a surgical plan previously designed in 3D.
Robotics applied to surgery opens the door to a level of accuracy and personalization never seen before. With Mazor, we are achieving safer, less invasive procedures with significantly shorter recovery times, thanks to exhaustive planning and total control during the operation," says Susana Quintanilla, general manager of Sanitas Hospitals.
Advances in robotic urological surgery with the Da Vinci SP system
Sanitas's drive in the field of surgical robotics also extends to urology. The Sanitas La Zarzuela University Hospitalcontinues to lead this transformation with the Da Vinci Single Port (SP) robot, a technology that allows minimally invasive procedures to be performed through a single incision.
This system provides greater precision, reduces the risk of postoperative complications, and facilitates a faster recovery. In many cases, patients can even be discharged on the same day, reinforcing Sanitas' commitment to offering safer, more efficient, and patient-centered surgical experiences.
