BACKGROUND: C1 lateral mass fractures (LMF) cause abnormal alignment of the upper cervical joints. Conservatively treated cases can develop into late cock-robin junction, requiring a reconstructive surgical procedure of the occipitocervical junction....
BACKGROUND: The accuracy of pedicle screws placed with instrument tracking and robotic navigation are individually comparable or superior to placement using standard fluoroscopy, however head-to-head comparisons between these adjuncts in a similar su...
Intraoperative MRI has been increasingly used to robotically deliver electrodes and catheters into the human brain using a linear trajectory with great clinical success. Current cranial MR guided robotics do not allow for continuous real-time imaging...
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted stereotactic electroencephalography (sEEG) electrode placement is increasingly common at specialized epilepsy centers. High accuracy and low complication rates are essential to realizing the benefits of sEEG surgery. The ...
BACKGROUND: Numerous scientists and researchers have been developing advanced procedures and methods for diagnosing the kind and phase of a human tumor. Brain tumors, which are neoplastic and abnormal developments of brain cells, are one of the most ...
BACKGROUND: With the emergence of the concept of value-based care, efficient resource allocation has become an increasingly prominent factor in surgical decision-making. Validated machine learning (ML) models for cost prediction in outpatient spine s...
BACKGROUND: Natural language processing (NLP) is a discipline of machine learning concerned with the analysis of language and text. Although NLP has been applied to various forms of clinical text, the applications and utility of NLP in spine surgery ...
OBJECTIVE: Technological advances have significantly fostered the use of robotics in neurosurgery. Due to their novelty, there is a need to develop training methods within neurosurgical residency programs that provide trainees the skills to utilize t...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the clinical results and complications of robot-assisted (RA) versus fluoroscopy-assisted (FA) percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) in the treatment of osteo...
