Da Vinci Robotic Assistance for Anterolateral Lumbar Arthrodesis: Results of a French Multicentric Study.

BACKGROUND: The da Vinci robot (DVR) is the most widely used robot in abdominal, urological, and gynecological surgery. Due to its minimally invasive approach, the DVR has demonstrated its effectiveness and improved safety in these different disciplines. The aim of our study was to report its use in an anterior approach of complex lumbar surgery.
