Robotic Spine Surgery at the University of California, Irvine, Orthopedic Spine Center Can Provide Improved Results and Decreased Failure Rates for Surgical Patients
Dr. Nitin Bhatia and Dr. Samuel Bederman are the first team in Orange County to perform complex spine surgery using robots.
Irvine, CA, March 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Nitin Bhatia and Dr. Samuel Bederman at the UC Irvine Spine Program have performed the first series of robot assisted spine surgeries in Orange County, California. Using this technology, these physicians can decrease complication rates and improve outcomes for their spinal surgery patients. Drs. Bhatia and Bederman are world-recognized leaders in robotic spine surgery and are the first team of surgeons to perform these surgeries in the western United States.
"This technology allows physicians to improve outcomes, shorten surgical times, and enhance healing in our spinal surgery patients," said Dr. Bhatia, Chief of Spinal Surgery and Co-Director of the Combined Spine Program at UC Irvine.
"UC Irvine has a long history of pioneering robotic surgery including the DaVinci robot system. The addition of the Mazor SpineAssist surgical robot further enhances UC Irvine's leadership in this field," said Dr. Bederman.
Dr. Bhatia has been featured as a treating surgeon in the television show "Guardian Angels, MD," seen nationwide on The Learning Channel as well as programs on PBS. He has expertise in all areas of spinal pathology including spinal stenosis, disc herniations, spine trauma, scoliosis, complex cervical and lumbar reconstruction, and failed back syndrome. Dr. Bhatia has completed multiple spine surgery fellowships and has trained in both orthopedic and neurosurgical techniques. Dr. Bederman is a world expert in complex adult and pediatric scoliosis as well.
Patients should discuss their options with Dr. Bhatia or Dr. Bederman to determine the extent of their spinal problems and whether surgery is a viable option for their treatment. Please call 714-456-7012 or visit www.irvinespine.com for more information.
Dr. Bhatia, a Board Certified and Fellowship Trained spinal surgeon, serves as Director of the Spine Center and Chief of the Orthopaedic Spinal Surgery service at the University of California, Irvine.
For all patients, a multi-disciplinary non-surgical approach is used. This approach allows the majority of patients to improve without surgical intervention. When surgery is necessary, Dr. Bhatia's extensive training in state of the art techniques including minimally invasive surgery, endoscopic discectomy, percutaneous fusions, X-Stop lumbar stenosis treatment, XLIF, Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP), and kyphoplasty help to cure his patients' problems with minimal recovery time and less discomfort than other methods.
The UC Irvine Spine Center provides care for Orange County and the surrounding communities including Irvine, Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Laguna Nigel, Garden Grove, Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Fullerton, Westminster, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Long Beach, Anaheim, Brea, Mission Viejo, Temecula, Fallbrook, Hemet, Los Angeles, and Riverside. Patients from outside these communities are welcome at the UCI Spine Center as well.
