Collaborative spinal robot system for laminectomy: a preliminary study.

Journal: Neurosurgical focus
PMID: 34973664

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The application of robots in the field of pedicle screw placement has achieved great success. However, decompressive laminectomy, a step that is just as critical as pedicle screw placement, does not have a mature robot-assisted system. To address this lack, the authors designed a collaborative spine robot system to assist with laminectomy. In this study, they aimed to investigate the reliability of this novel collaborative spinal robot system and compare it with manual laminectomy (ML).
