HARTFORD, CT — A prominent hospital in Hartford recently announced a new, high-tech means to fix problem spines in patients.

Saint Francis Hospital is one of the first hospitals globally to offer fourth-generation "Mako SmartRobotics" for spinal surgery.

Mako Spine is designed to transform the way spinal surgery is performed by helping to streamline workflows, simplifying complex clinical tasks, and enabling surgeons to have greater confidence that they are executing their procedure as planned.

“We are excited to be able to offer this transformative technology to our patients in need of spinal surgery, as we expand our minimally invasive surgical program,” said Valerie Powell-Stafford, president at Saint Francis. “As the first New England to offer this highly advanced technology, adding this new system underscores our commitment to providing the most advanced, highest-quality care to our patients throughout the region.”
