Dr. Kevin Foley pioneers first adult spine surgery using nView s1 imaging

Semmes Murphey Clinic is thrilled to share a new development in minimally invasive spine surgeries! We teamed with nView medical, a leader in surgical imaging technologies, to conduct the first successful surgery on an adult patient using the nView s1 imaging and navigation system. Dr. Kevin Foley, chairman of Semmes Murphey and director of complex spine surgery, led the surgery, with the assistance of spine fellow Dr. Alex Dru.

This new image guidance technology provides more accurate placement of spinal implants in a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. Where speed and safety are highly critical in this type of surgery, nView s1’s advanced imaging is an ideal solution for maintaining a small footprint, while also streamlining navigation and workflow. It sets a new standard for precision and patient safety and allows outpatient discharge.
