Alongside Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Navigation Technology, global healthcare is growing rapidly. It is surely a breakthrough in South East Asia that Premier Bintaro Hospital is able to provide this service to patients.
Keeping up with innovations and advanced technology, the new Spine Center at Premier Bintaro Hospital introduces ROBBIN (Robot Bintaro), a Robotic Navigation Spine Surgery that can perform minimally invasive spinal surgery. ROBBIN comes integrated with a 256-slice CT scan, C-Arm, and supported by 3 Tesla MRI technology. Previously, spinal surgery could take 8 hours, but using ROBBIN technology this has been reduced to 2 hours, depending on the level of difficulty and severity of the case. With ROBBIN, the surgical procedure uses robotic arm technology to perform surgery on the spine, a ‘free hand’ method that relies on knowledge of the anatomy of the spine and with the help of x-rays. This method prevents human error and prioritizes patient safety. It can perform repeated surgeries with high endurance and no reduction in performance.
The spine is a particularly complex part of our body. Here, dr. Ajiantoro explains more about the benefits of ROBBIN. Ajiantoro has undertaken various courses abroad in this field, including an Advanced Cervical Course in Spine Surgery at NUH Singapore, an Advanced ASEAN Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Course in Manila, Philippines, an Advanced Surgical Techniques for Complex Spine Surgery Course in Seoul, South Korea, and an Advanced Course of Robotic Spine Surgery and Excelcius GPS Navigation System. He is also an acclaimed and award award-winning specialist in numerous prestigious Association Congresses and Education Symposiums. He explains, “The spine, also known as the vertebral column or backbone, extends from the skull to the small of the back, comprising the spinal canal, spinal cord, ligaments, muscles and more. In general, there are three disorders commonly found related to the spine, which are: spinal structure deformity, spinal disorder caused by infection or bacteria, and spinal degeneration caused by aging, or HNP (herniated nucleus pulposus) causing back pain and nerve root irritation. The two highest disorders are spinal degeneration and spinal deformity, while the most challenging case found is scoliosis. With the support of modern technology at Premier Bintaro Hospital, various spine disorders can be treated and the risk of complications such as paralysis and bleeding can be prevented in those cases that need surgery, such as scoliosis, spondylosis, and implants. Treatments such as spinal endoscopies with minimal incisions for HNP cases have a faster recovery time. Minimally invasive implants using robotic navigation perform at 99% accuracy and precision. Surgeries on complex cases involving anatomical structure changes are also now possible using robotic technology.”
Cost and time estimation by using ROBBIN technology may vary, depending on the severity and segments of the cases. However, effectiveness is key, with robotic implants only taking 1-2 minutes for each. Planning usually takes longer, around 20-30 minutes. Ultimately, it delivers optimum benefits for the patient with smaller surgical incisions, higher radiation exposure efficiency, reduced post-surgery pain, and faster recovery time.
