UC San Diego Health has performed the first AI-guided robotic spine surgery on the West Coast. The new platform combines computer technology, customized implants, imaging, and robotic assistance to help surgeons operate with greater accuracy. It provides a detailed 3D view of the patient's spine and streamlines operating room workflow, reducing procedure time and supporting recovery. Dr. Joseph Osorio, an associate professor of neurological surgery at UC San Diego School of Medicine, led the surgery. The platform integrates AI, data-driven alignment planning, patient-specific implants, navigation, and robotic screw delivery within a single system. The technology is expected to enhance safety and precision in spine surgery.
