Automated prediction of the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score from CT using a novel deep learning algorithm.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Damage to the thoracolumbar spine can confer significant morbidity and mortality. The Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TLICS) is used to categorize injuries and determine patients at risk of spinal instability for wh...

Machine learning to predict passenger mortality and hospital length of stay following motor vehicle collision.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) account for 1.35 million deaths and cost $518 billion US dollars each year worldwide, disproportionately affecting young patients and low-income nations. The ability to successfully anticipate clinical outco...

Evaluating robotic pedicle screw placement against conventional modalities: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Several approaches have been studied for internal fixation of the spine using pedicle screws (PSs), including CT navigation, 2D and 3D fluoroscopy, freehand, and robotic assistance. Robot-assisted PS placement has been controversial becaus...

Robot-guided versus freehand fluoroscopy-guided minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: a single-institution, observational, case-control study.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: The use of robotics in spinal surgery has gained popularity because of its promising accuracy and safety. ROSA is a commonly used surgical robot system for spinal surgery. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes between robot-guided ...

CT-to-fluoroscopy registration versus scan-and-plan registration for robot-assisted insertion of lumbar pedicle screws.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Pedicle screw insertion for stabilization after lumbar fusion surgery is commonly performed by spine surgeons. With the advent of navigation technology, the accuracy of pedicle screw insertion has increased. Robotic guidance has revolution...

Does robot-assisted navigation influence pedicle screw selection and accuracy in minimally invasive spine surgery?

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: The accuracy of percutaneous pedicle screw placement has increased with the advent of robotic and surgical navigation technologies. However, the effect of robotic intraoperative screw size and trajectory templating remains unclear. The pur...

Learning curves in robot-assisted spine surgery: a systematic review and proposal of application to residency curricula.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Spine robots have seen increased utilization over the past half decade with the introduction of multiple new systems. Market research expects this expansion to continue over the next half decade at an annual rate of 20%. However, because o...

Transcarotid access for remote robotic endovascular neurointerventions: a cadaveric proof-of-concept study.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this proof-of-concept study was to demonstrate the setup and feasibility of transcarotid access for remote robotic neurointerventions in a cadaveric model.
