(Pittsburgh, PA) Allegheny Health Network (AHN) is now advancing the future of spine surgery, and it recently became the first health system in Western Pennsylvania to offer patients access to the Medtronic Stealth AXiS™ Surgical Systems.

The Medtronic Stealth AXiS™ Surgical Systems is an innovative, next generation robotic surgical system, and it is now being used by spine surgeons at AHN’s Allegheny General Hospital (AGH) and AHN Wexford Hospital.

Stealth AXiS™ integrates surgical planning that is AI-driven, as well as navigation, anatomical tracking in real-time and robotic-assisted execution into a connected platform.

This system is designed to help surgeons translate detailed preoperative plans into precise intraoperative execution while supporting both minimally invasive and open spine procedures.

Stealth AXiS™ can also assist surgeons in planning screw placement and surgical trajectories before entering the operating room, and then can use navigation and robotic guidance to help execute that plan.
