Candidates for robotic or minimally invasive spine surgery typically have localized spinal pathology such as herniated discs, stenosis, or instability and are in generally good health. Factors like obesity, prior surgeries, or deformity may affect eligibility.

A consultation with an ABS spine specialist—including Dr. Kimberly Ashayeri, Dr. Jonathan Baskin, or Dr. Farah Musharbash—determines candidacy using imaging and physical assessment.
