BACKGROUND: To compare the clinical outcomes of patients with lumbar disc herniation treated with robot-assisted percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (r-PELD) or conventional PELD under fluoroscopy guidance (f-PELD).
The present study used triggered electromyographic (EMG) testing as a tool to determine the safety of pedicle screw placement. In this Institutional Review Board exempt review, data from 151 consecutive patients (100 robotic; 51 non-robotic) who had ...
PURPOSE: Both robots and navigation are effective strategies for optimizing screw placement, as compared to freehand placement. However, few studies have compared the accuracy and efficiency of these two techniques. Thus, the purpose of this study is...
BACKGROUND: There has been increased development of robotic technologies for the accuracy of percutaneous pedicle screw placement. However, it remains unclear whether the robot really optimize the selection of screw sizes and enhance screw stability....

BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery (RS) may offer benefits compared with freehand/conventional surgery (FS) in the treatment of patients with spinal disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RS versus FS in spinal fusion.
In recent years, fast and precise lumbar vertebrae segmentation technology have been one of the important topics in practical medical diagnosis and assisted medical surgery scenarios. However, most of the existing vertebral segmentation methods are b...
BACKGROUND: Current spine models for analog bench models, surgical navigation and training platforms are conventionally based on 3D models from anatomical human body polygon database or from time-consuming manual-labelled data. This work proposed a w...
