Saint Louis University Hospital Neurosurgeons Offer New, Minimally-Invasive Spine Surgery Option

ST. LOUIS - Neurosurgeons at Saint Louis University Hospital have a new, minimally-invasive option for complex spine surgery using O-arm technology, providing a virtual image of the spine that shows screw placement and trajectory during the procedure.

O-arm is a multidimensional imaging system providing surgeons with real-time, 3D images, giving clearer views of the patient’s anatomy.

Dennis Mollman, MD, PhD, director of spine surgery in the department of neurosurgery at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, helped develop use of the technology at the University of Minnesota and has performed more than 1,000 O-arm cases.
