A learning-based method for online adjustment of C-arm Cone-beam CT source trajectories for artifact avoidance.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: During spinal fusion surgery, screws are placed close to critical nerves suggesting the need for highly accurate screw placement. Verifying screw placement on high-quality tomographic imaging is essential. C-arm cone-beam CT (CBCT) provides ...

Design and control of an image-guided robot for spine surgery in a hybrid OR.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive spine (MIS) fusion surgery requires image guidance and expert manual dexterity for a successful, efficient, and accurate pedicle screw placement. Operating room (OR)-integrated robotic solution can provide precise assis...

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict postoperative surgical site infection: A retrospective cohort of 4046 posterior spinal fusions.

Clinical neurology and neurosurgery
OBJECTIVES: Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are rapidly growing in capability and increasingly applied to model outcomes and complications within medicine. In spinal surgery, post-operative surgical site infections (SSIs) are a rare...

Single position spinal surgery for the treatment of grade II spondylolisthesis: A technical note.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Minimally invasive transpsoas approach to treat lumbar spondylolisthesis is associated with increased clinical benefits.

Machine learning for prediction of sustained opioid prescription after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The severity of the opioid epidemic has increased scrutiny of opioid prescribing practices. Spine surgery is a high-risk episode for sustained postoperative opioid prescription.

Robot-Assisted Versus Fluoroscopy-Guided Pedicle Screw Placement in Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Lumbar Degenerative Disease.

World neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical accuracy and perioperative outcomes for pedicle screw placement in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) between the robot-assisted (RA) technique and fluoroscopy-guided (FG) technique.

Machine learning modeling for predicting hospital readmission following lumbar laminectomy.

Journal of neurosurgery. Spine
In BriefAuthors of this study analyzed hospital readmissions following laminectomy and developed predictive models to identify readmitted patients with an accuracy >95% when using all variables and >79% when using only predischarge variables. A model...

Robot-assisted multi-level anterior lumbar interbody fusion: an anatomical study.

Acta neurochirurgica
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgical approaches still provide limited exposure. Access to the L2-L5 intervertebral discs during a single procedure is challenging and often requires repositioning of the patient and adopting an alternative approach.

Pedicle Screw Revision in Robot-Guided, Navigated, and Freehand Thoracolumbar Instrumentation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

World neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: Various computer-based guidance systems have been devised to reduce costly screw-related complications, yet their clinical effectiveness has never been comparatively assessed in a meta-analysis. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of clinic...
