The Robotic Spine Institute of Silicon Valley

The Robotic Spine Institute of Silicon Valley appears to have been a private spine surgery and orthopedic care practice in Los Gatos, California focused on robotically assisted and minimally invasive spinal procedures. Public web references describe the institute as founded and led by spine surgeon Kornelis Poelstra, MD, PhD, and emphasize its use of advanced surgical robotics and image-guided spine surgery rather than development of therapeutic drugs. The organization appears to have served patients with cervical and lumbar spine disorders, deformity, trauma, and chronic back or neck pain. Current evidence suggests the Silicon Valley practice is no longer the active operating brand, with the currently active related practice being The Robotic Spine Institute of Las Vegas. It is therefore better characterized as a healthcare services entity than as a biotech or pharmaceutical company.
