It's an amazing medical breakthrough that has epilepsy patients around the world looking at Houston, where doctors are performing a procedure that has patients jumping at the chance to have surgeons operate on their brains. It's a surgery that can stop debilitating seizures.
The ROSA robot is helping physicians at the University of Alabama at Birmingham detect the source of seizures in patients with epilepsy. ROSA offers patients, and their physicians, a unique advantage over traditional surgical approaches: it can do the job with a lot of little holes as opposed to the one very large opening that has been used up to this point

« The ROSA® robot allows us to very safely, efficiently and precisely place the sEEG electrodes. With the robot, we can efficiently move from one electrode trajectory to the next. The robotic precision tracks multiple trajectories, ensuring that each electrode is placed in the safest, most optimal position».
“Our hospital previously purchased two ROSA® Brain systems in 2015 for our Neuroscience Institute and for training in our Brethen Center for Surgical Advancement in Robotics and Minimally Invasive Surgery. We are thrilled to be the first facility in the U.S. to now have ROSA® Spine, and we are confident that Medtech’s robotic technology will expand our minimally invasive spinal surgery options for the region.”
Shawn Smith's son Aaron has a better life thanks to ROSA.
"It's been like night and day compared to where he was, and where he is at now," his father Mathew Smith said.
"He could have anywhere from 10 seizures a day, right behind each other," Shawn explained
"This machine, this ROSA worked out great for him," Shawn said.
“I went straight home. No rehab. No complications. There was a little pain, but I had a lot more pain before the surgery,”
“I was the first patient to have ROSA-assisted surgery at Miami Valley Hospital. My doctor’s Dr. Torres. I’d been having back pain for about three years radiating into my legs and my lower back. So after various tests to see what the situation was, it was decided by Dr. Torres that I needed to have L4, L5 and S1 stabilized and so they did a fusion, plus they cleaned it out or they made a little extra room for the nerves so that I wouldn’t have any impingement. The surgery was done April 21st. I can’t say there was no pain – there was but there was pain prior to surgery and I’m amazed that here it is after 5 weeks and I feel as I’m doing fantastic”

«The robot allows us to preplan trajectories when we are placing screws in the lumbar spine, thereby giving us greater control during procedures. We're right at the cusp of changing how we do minimally invasive spine surgery. This is an amazing and exciting breakthrough...
Spine surgeries require precise movements of the surgical instruments, ROSA® Spine has the ability to take any movements or obstacles into account and adjust accordingly, helping to ensure that the surgical plan can be followed as closely as possible. That's especially important in cases where there could be rotation of the spine».
