Kornelis Poelstra, MD, PhD, completed his 300th case using the Mazor X Robotic Guidance System.
Here are five highlights.
1. Dr. Poelstra introduced the Mazor technology to his practice, Destin, Fla.-based Spine Institute on the Emerald Coast, in 2015.
2. He usually leverages Mazor Robotics technology for thoracolumbar fusions.
3. Dr. Poelstra also has used the robotic technology to instrument more than 250 iliac bolts.
4. More than 550 patients in Dr. Poelstra's practice have experienced Mazor guidance systems in their care.
5. Mazor Robotics Chief Commercial Officer said Dr. Poelstra has performed more procedures with the Mazor X system than any other surgeon.
"Since introducing Mazor Robotics technology at the Spine Institute on the Emerald Coast in Destin, Fla., I have seen a significant positive impact on my practice," said Dr. Poelstra. "Executing a procedure that was planned with Mazor's software allows for even the most difficult spine surgery to be comfortably executed in the OR with robotic guidance."
