ADR & Robotics

Whether you are dealing with a chronic spine condition or seeking relief from more recent back discomfort, consider how Dr. Robert Johnson, D.O. can help. As one of the most experienced artificial disc replacement (ADR) surgeons in the country, Dr. Johnson specializes in robotics with particular emphasis on cervical and lumbar spine surgery.

ADR

ADR is a minimally invasive surgical procedure proven to relieve chronic pain and enhance mobility. ADR is an established method in which an artificial disc is put in place of an existing disc in the spine. An artificial, implanted disc used in ADR replicates the shape of a spinal disc, thus reducing the risk of adjacent segment disease.

Candidates for ADR

Candidates for ADR include those with:

• Herniated discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Spondylolisthesis

An ADR surgical procedure is generally completed in a few hours.

prodisc C

The prodisc C is an implant for anterior cervical surgeries.

Robotics and ADR

Dr. Johnson uses advanced robotic technology to perform ADR procedures to achieve effective results.

Benefits of precision robotic surgery include:

• More accuracy during surgery
• Reduced risk of complications
• Less time in the hospital
• Quicker patient recovery
• Better long-term results
