New cohort study shows use of Synaptive’s robotic exoscope improves clinical outcomes in spine surgery

A new cohort study published in World Neurosurgery by the Neurosurgery Department at Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) examined the use of the Synaptive Modus exoscope (n=123) versus a microscope (n=123) in spine surgery.

The use of the exoscope resulted in shorter operative time, reduced blood loss, shorter length of stay and favorable clinical outcomes compared to the use of the operative microscope:

• 19% reduction in operative time (83 mins vs 132 mins; p=0.006)
• 40% reduction in length of stay (1.04 days vs 1.73 days; p=0.02)
• 79% reduction in blood loss (28 ml vs 132 ml; p=0.0009)

The authors state: “These findings carry significant implications for the use of the exoscope in spine surgery and align with the many positive experiences that have been reported regarding exoscope use in the neurosurgery literature. If the exoscope has the potential to facilitate improved outcomes for patients, practice efficiency, and surgeon comfort and health, it should certainly be considered as an alternative to the microscope whenever possible and appropriate.”
