Dr. Jonathan Lewin, Director of The Center for Musculoskeletal Disorders (CMD) in Englewood, New Jersey, recently made history as the first surgeon in the state to utilize the PathKeeper Surgical Spinal Navigation System.

Dr. Lewin, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery and the Director of Spine Surgery at the Institute for Robotic Surgery at Hudson Regional Hospital in Secaucus, New Jersey, led the CMD team in performing surgery on an 80-year-old patient with severe lumbar stenosis. The procedure involved applying screws from L3 to S1.

The PathKeeper System represents a significant advancement in surgical technology, incorporating Infrared Laser-Optical 3D Cameras and Artificial Intelligence. This innovative system provides surgeons with exceptionally precise registration and tool tracking.

Developed by leaders in medical optics, the PathKeeper System seamlessly integrates cutting-edge navigation capabilities with real-time imaging. It enables surgeons to navigate complex spinal anatomy with unmatched precision while eliminating the need for radiation in the operating room.

Dr. Lewin expressed his excitement about the potential impact of the PathKeeper system on spinal surgery: "I am thrilled to pioneer the use of PathKeeper in New Jersey. This innovative technology opens up new possibilities for precision and safety in spinal procedures, without the use of radiation, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life."

The PathKeeper System utilized by Dr. Jonathan Lewin signifies a significant advancement in surgical technology, leveraging state-of-the-art optics and machine learning to enhance accuracy and eliminate radiation exposure in spinal surgical interventions.

Erez Lampert, CEO and founder of PathKeeper Surgical, remarked, "We are pleased to collaborate with Dr. Lewin and look forward to the continued adoption of PathKeeper. We have developed a next-generation platform that promises to help surgeons improve clinical outcomes for patients and deliver significant value to health systems."
