Kristina Sparacino Contact Email: kristina.sparacino@lwrmc.com Contact Phone Number: 3524272108 Lakewood Ranch Medical Center (LWRMC) will host a media event on Thursday, March 5, 2020, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with Dr. John Wang and the 7D Surgical team. LWRMC has taken a leap into the future with the installation the 7D Surgical System for spinal and cranial procedures. This system virtually replaces standard fluoroscopy, providing the surgical team with a fast, accurate and radiation-free tool for the placement of spinal implants. The 7D Surgical System is the first and only Machine-Vision Image Guided Surgery (MvIGS) platform in the US. For the first-time, spine surgeons can guide their tools to the critical anatomy using sophisticated camera technology linked to a computer in the operating theater. The underlying technology is similar to what is used in the newest self-driving automobiles. Unlike time-consuming conventional image guided surgery (IGS) systems that depend on intraoperative radiation, this new platform can achieve an incredibly fast surgical workflow for spine procedures, reducing operative time for patients.
