Becker’s Healthcare -- Spine and Orthopedic Podcast · Building Bridges and Advancing Innovation in Spine Surgery with Dr. Mauricio Avila · 26 Feb 2026 podcast

And as we continue to develop these machines and getting us in targets and places and potentially start doing some decompression and things like that,

I think it's going to be the new frontier.

As always, it will be time, position, and of course, good patient outcomes because it's not worth it if a laminectomy takes three hours to do it with a robot, right?

But if it's helping you get to places or anatomy that is distorted, then I think it does provide an added value.

It's all about, to me, planning, right?

And I think I'm an over-planner.

I started residency and then shout out to Dr. Chab, and we plan every screw, we measure every pedicle, et cetera, et cetera, and I just keep doing the same thing.

So if I'm able to put an X-ray, put a CT of a patient, get my pelvic parameters, my sagittal parameters, et cetera, and then plan it, and then potentially see, or I hope,

then, hey, if I do this here, what will happen?

If I do this here, what will happen?

And again, as I was saying, and you mentioned it's beyond the robot, is that software?

And what I want to see is me being able to be in my office, potentially at home in a cloud-based type of platform.

And then the week and before a couple of cases during the week, then I can do my planning.

And then if I need to modify, I can modify it.

Because I think that's where this is coming from.

And then...

I know some companies may already be working on this, but sharing the data and potentially anonymized or not anonymized, because of course, surgeons were competitive.

So I also want to see how much, you know, my next door surgeon is getting on his T-Lifts, he's getting the two, you know, five degrees, 10 degrees, or what are we doing?

And then I think that that's where the software will come.

It's like, you know what, you want to do a T-Lift at this level.
