Manitoba Expands Advanced Spine Surgery at Concordia Hospital Spine Centre of Excellence On March 13, 2026 The Government of Manitoba announced a $2.7-million investment in advanced surgical technology at Concordia Hospital, helping patients receive spine surgery sooner and recover more quickly.
Using new 3-D imaging and precision guidance, surgeons can now perform minimally invasive spine procedures that often allow patients to return home the same day or the next day. This expansion increases surgical capacity across the province and helps reduce wait times by enabling more moderately complex procedures to be completed at Concordia, while freeing operating room resources at Health Sciences Centre for the most complex cases.
Since the first navigated spine surgery at Concordia in June 2025, more than 40 procedures have been completed, with a goal of approximately 75 surgeries each year. The hospital is now recognized as a spine centre of excellence and serves as a national teaching site, attracting surgeons from across Canada and internationally for specialized training. Health leaders note that the investment will improve patient outcomes, strengthen Manitoba’s surgical system, and enhance co-ordinated care through the provincial spine program and the Manitoba Spine Clinic.
