PHOENIX, AZ – February 14, 2025 – OrthoSpineNews –
Dr. Andrew Chung, performed an unprecedented biportal endoscopic spinal fusion surgery at Banner Del E Webb Hospital on January 27, 2025. He integrated Amplify Surgical’s dualX®Slim interbody fusion implant with the dualPortal® endoscopic technique, while leveraging Medtronic’s Mazor robotic guidance system for precise surgical planning and execution. This ultra-minimally invasive TLIF procedure coupled with the nuanced articulation of the Mazor robot enables a level of precision and patient safety that is truly groundbreaking and promises to revolutionize the landscape of spine surgery.
“Merging dualPortal endoscopy with robotics has the potential to revolutionize endoscopic TLIF,” Dr. Chung says about his milestone feat. “Mazor surgical planning enables optimal working and camera portal placement through screw incisions, streamlining the surgical workflow. Reproducible interbody device placement, an essentially automated contralateral posterior release, precision ipsilateral facetectomy planning, and the elimination of intra-operative fluoroscopy are further substantial benefits. Ultimately, this powerful combination provides surgeons with greater confidence and facilitates the delivery of consistent, predictable outcomes, even in complex cases.”
Amplify Surgical’s dualXSlim is the newest addition to the dualX® Dual-Expandable Interbody Technology platform. The new implant has one of the smallest insertion profiles in the market but still expands in both horizontal and vertical directions to provide an ALIF-sized final geometry. It also produces higher degrees of lordosis 8° 12° 15° 18°* through the patented trueLordosis™ technology to help surgeons provide the intended sagittal alignment for their patients. The dualPortal Endoscopic Technique is a novel two-portal endoscopic approach to the spine that allows surgeons to easily learn and perform a wider array of lumbar spine procedures than the conventional one-portal technique. It is a versatile and powerful technique in which the decoupling of the endoscopic camera from the surgical instruments allows for greater flexibility and enhanced visualization of spinal anatomy, applicable to a wide variety of lumbar pathology. The marriage of dualPortal spine endoscopy and dualXSlim dual-expanding interbody technology is called the dualLIF procedure.
