Mayo Clinic Minute: Endoscopic spinal fusion

Delivering more minimally invasive and robotic surgery options to patients is something Dr. Mohamad Bydon, a Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon, has been helping to lead. He recently performed Mayo Clinic’s first endoscopic spinal fusion surgery, which combines the use of robotics and an endoscope to deliver safer, more effective surgeries that are minimally invasive and allow for faster recovery times.

Since 2018, Dr. Mohamad Bydon has been performing robotic spinal fusions, which is a surgery done to help stabilize an unstable spine.

Adding another layer of innovation, Dr. Bydon recently performed Mayo Clinic’s first endoscopic spinal fusion.

Dr. Bydon calls those two elements paradigm shifts in how surgery is performed.
