Technology could improve back surgery outcomes, reduce pain, advance skills of surgeons

The majority of adults in the United States experience lower back pain at some point in their life. Thousands undergo surgery to help fix their backs – but the procedures can be expensive and not always effective because the spinal area is small, intricate and presents space challenges for surgeons. Now, a Purdue University-affiliated startup has developed new technology to help make the surgeries more effective and less painful. C2 Medical Robotics, Inc., co-founded by David Cappelleri, an associate professor of mechanical engineering in Purdue’s College of Engineering, also aims to improve the skills of surgeons with its new technology.
