For patients who require back or spine surgery, robotic assisted guidance systems are one of the latest advances in technology that have transformed spine surgery from a freehand operation to a state-of-the-art procedure with highly accurate precision.
Houston Spine Surgeons Dr. Richard Francis and Dr. Neil Badlani, both experienced surgeons using the Mazor Robotics Guidance System, are participating in a highly collaborative surgical learning environment while training other surgeons at Westside Surgical Hospital. Dr. Francis specializes in the training for Deformities, Revisions and Fusions while Dr. Badlani is teaching on Percutaneous cases.

Upcoming Training is available in the Westside Mazor Robotics Training Center under the guidance of Dr. Richard Francis, director of robotic surgery and training at Westside Surgical Hospital. Dr. Francis has performed over one hundred successful operations thus far and was one of the first surgeons in the nation asked to perform the artificial disc replacement and to use robotic assistance in spine surgery.
Mazor Training Lab dates have been calendared as follows:

Participating physicians will first review and participate in pre-operative planning with the Mazor Renaissance system’s 3D software.
Next they will have the opportunity to test their skills and execute the surgical technique themselves as they practice in a cadaveric lab.
Participating surgeons will then have the opportunity to observe a procedure with Dr. Francis or Dr. Badlani.
