"We expect this technology to improve outcomes, shorten surgical times and enhance healing in our spinal surgery patients," Bhatia said. "The system allows us to preplan an operation using CT scans to precisely plot the surgery and program the robot to guide screws in exactly the right spot in the patient’s spine."

He spoke on “Emergent Cricothyroidotomy and Airway Emergencies after Anterior Cervical Surgery” and was an instructor for techniques on advanced and complex anterior and posterior cervical surgery techniques. Attendees included surgeons from the United States and around the world. Dr. Nitin Bhatia and Dr. Samuel Bederman performed the first robot spinal surgery in Orange County in March, 2011. As the leading spine center on the West Coast, the UC Irvine Orthopaedic Spine Program uses robotic techniques to perform complex spinal surgery with higher levels of accuracy and safety than other centers can provide. Drs. Bhatia and Bederman are considered world leaders in robotic spinal surgery and are often asked to give lectures and instruction to other physicians on this technology. Robotic spine surgery can be used to improve outcomes for a variety of spinal problems including scoliosis, spinal stenosis, and disc herniations. March 7th, 2011 March 4th, 2011 He was an invited speaker at the American Association for Hand Surgery meeting in January 2011 on two panels on "Congenital hand anomalies" and "Management of the mangled hand," as well as speaking on "Radial tunnel syndrome" in an instructional course on compression neuropathies. In fact two University of California Irvine orthopedic faculty members, Dr. Gupta and Dr. Jones were speakers on the panel on the "Mangled Hand" at this meeting. Dr. Jones was also an invited speaker for the Masters in Microsurgery Series during the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery meeting in January 2011, presenting a lecture on "Pediatric microsurgery."

Hoang, M.D., Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and director of Musculoskeletal Oncology at the University of California, Irvine has been named the 2011 winner of the Ann Doner Vaughan Kappa Delta Award by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). Dr. Hoang presented his award-winning lecture, "Toward Novel Therapeutic Intervention for Osteosarcoma: Clinical Implications of the Wnt Pathway” on January 15, 2011 at the 57th annual meeting of the Orthopaedic Research Society in Long Beach, CA. Hoang will then travel to San Diego to receive the Kappa Delta Award at the opening ceremony of the AAOS annual meeting on February 16, 2011. Since 1950, the Kappa Delta Awards have been presented to individuals who perform research in orthopaedic surgery that is of the highest impact and significance. Annually, three awards of $20,000 each are given. Two awards are named for national presidents of the Kappa Delta Sorority who were instrumental in the creation of the awards: Elizabeth Winston Lanier and Ann Doner Vaughn. The third is known as the Young Investigator's Award. The Ann Doner Vaughn award represents a career’s work for Dr. Hoang: Since 2002, he and his colleagues from the U.S. and abroad have studied tumor suppressor genes that are abnormally turned off by cancer cells. He and his group found that by blocking a cellular signaling pathway using these tumor suppressors, they can suppress the growth and metastatic potential of bone and soft tissue sarcomas, a group of deadly cancers in children and young adults.
