Title: “Technology in my practice of spine surgery”
Abstract:
Technology has exponentially progressed over the past few decades. It has changed all facets from our lives. Things which were unimaginable and fiction last century are now common place.
This is especially so within the field of Medicine, and specifically my speciality of spinal surgery. Nearly all aspects of my work require some degree of interaction with technology, most of which has been recently developed.
Technology has helped us form new understanding of existing conditions, diagnose them, share them across teams all the way to using computer navigation and robotics to help during surgery - Modern medicine would struggle to function without access to modern technology.
I will explore and discuss the application of technology across my surgical speciality of spine surgery and how essential and imbedded the use of technology has become in the practice of Medicine.
