HCA Florida Kendall Hospital Debuts Robot-Assisted Spinal Fusion Surgery

HCA Florida Kendall Hospital in Miami conducted its first robot-assisted transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion surgery at the L4 to L5 spinal level using a new robotic system for spinal and cranial operations. Neurosurgeon Michael Fromke, MD, who recently joined the hospital in July, led the procedure, marking a significant development in the hospital's surgical capabilities. This advancement aligns with broader adoption trends as hospitals integrate advanced spinal navigation and robotic platforms to enhance precision and outcomes in spinal surgeries.
