Visiting Surgeon Program
Demonstrating OR Technologies for Education
The Medtronic Navigation Visiting Surgeon Program (VSP) offer orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons opportunities to visit recognized
experts in spinal surgery to discuss techniques and surgical approaches
using Medtronic products. Some of the technologies covered are
StealthStation® navigation – both optical and AxiEM® electromagnetic
tracking – as well as PoleStar® Surgical MRI and the O-arm® 2D/3D
imaging system.
During this intensive training visit, each visiting surgeon will observe live
surgery, review surgical techniques and discuss interesting cases or other
pertinent topics related to state-of-the-art surgical technologies from
Medtronic. The distinguished panel of host surgeons
is united by the commitment
to advancing medical education.
Each site will have a program
that highlights their specific
success in treating patients
through the use of
