Research

The Neurosurgery Simulation and Innovations Laboratory of Bernard R. Bendok, M.D., at Mayo Clinic's campus in Phoenix, Arizona, is a state-of-the-art research facility that uses 3D printers, holographic capable modalities and other techniques to advance neurological surgery.

These technologies are incorporated in this unique environment for advancing the surgical theater for tomorrow, facilitating device innovation, designing new procedures and simulating full surgeries before they are performed. The lab's structure incorporates technological advances, such as robotic surgery and stereotactic navigation systems. Dr. Bendok's lab also oversees clinical trials that focus on answering questions regarding new devices and novel cutting-edge therapies.
