Why Most Guided Surgery FAILS in the Lab (And How SI Guided Was Built to Fix It!)

In this episode, Dr. Robert Stanley sits down with Sarah Bridgers, Lead Designer for SI Guided, to discuss the origin, philosophy, and clinical workflow behind the lab. What began as an in-house resource built exclusively for Stanley Institute alumni has evolved into a fully developed guided surgery and prosthetic design lab, now opening its doors to external partners.
Sarah walks through the design process from a lab perspective, how cases are evaluated, and why predictable outcomes depend on more than just software. Together, they explore the collaboration between clinician and designer, common breakdowns in guided workflows, and what SI Guided does differently to support real-world surgical execution. This conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how SI Guided was built, who it’s designed for, and what clinicians should expect when integrating a lab partner into complex implant cases.
