Episode 73: First in Illinois: Transforming Brain and Spine Surgery

When surgery involves the brain or spine, precision is key. OSF HealthCare is the first health care system in Illinois, and one of the first in the US, to use a new technology that provides greater accuracy for some of the most complex neurological procedures.

Join us as we discuss how the OSF HealthCare Illinois Neurological Institute is using the Medtronic Stealth AXiS™ Surgical System to support more targeted, minimally invasive brain and spine procedures. The technology includes AI-powered planning, real-time navigation and robotic-assisted technology to assist with high-risk, advanced operations that treat the most challenging conditions.

Host Shelli Dankoff chats with Andrew Tsung, MD, vice president of OSF HealthCare Illinois Neurological Institute, and Max Kahn, MD, a neurosurgeon with OSF HealthCare, about what this innovative technology means for surgeons and patients, and what advances in neurosurgery could mean for the future of neurological care.
