Mr. David from Malawi initially presented with persistent low back pain, accompanied by weakness and numbness in his left leg. Over a span of two years, his mobility gradually declined, necessitating breaks even after short distances. Upon examination, he was diagnosed with Degenerative Lumbar Canal Stenosis, resulting in spinal instability. To address this, he underwent a groundbreaking Robotic Arm-Assisted Spine Surgery, a pioneering procedure in South India that utilized the MazorX robotic system in conjunction with O-Arm and a Radiolucent table. The surgery successfully involved decompression and fusion of the spine.

Remarkably, Mr. David experienced a rapid improvement in his condition, being able to walk within just four hours post-surgery, thanks to the synergistic benefits of this robotic arm-assisted combination.
