PATIENT TESTIMONIAL
I’m a 77 year old retired physician. For 1 year I had severe sciatic pain radiating from my right lower back to my right lower leg. I couldn’t walk more than 50 feet before the pain became severe. Dr. Georgiy Brusovanik performed surgery at Doctors hospital in Coral Gables replacing all the disk in my lumbar spine because the degeneration was severe.Procedure was done in two stages.The surgery was very successful.My recovery each time was shorter than i expected.I am now able to walk my dogs up to 12 city blocks per day.I am very pleased with the care i received and feel that Dr. Brusovanik expertise and kind manor helped me to achieve the success i had.

Robotic Fixation
Robotic fixation is something really innovative. Essentially, we have figured out a way to use a preoperative CT scan and train a robot to improve the accuracy of placing hardware inside the spine. So with the help of a robot, I’m able to locate the exact trajectory that will allow the screw to not only stay in bone, avoiding injury to any muscle.

This new trajectory also allows us to avoid injury to the next adjacent level, and the classic method of placing screws would reliably injure the next adjacent healthy level. So this is a dramatic improvement in my practice and for patients who need larger operations such as those for scoliosis or spondylolisthesis, this has become a way to really minimize the risk of complications.
