VSI’s Dr. Christopher Good was among the first in the world to perform an Augmented Reality spine surgery on his patient, Trent.

This new technology allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures which means less time recovering and less pain for the patient.

Similar to a real-time GPS, this “see-through” surgery lets surgeons know exactly where to place implants in a patient’s unique anatomy, and is bringing a new standard of personalization and care to the operating room.
