A new approach for safe planning transfer using semi-automatically adjustable instrument guides.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
Accurate planning transfer is a prerequisite for successful operative care. For different applications, diverse computer-assisted systems have been developed and clinically evaluated. This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of a new mod...

Risk factors for predicting increased surgical drain output in patients after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research
BACKGROUND: Although measures to reduce and treat the postoperative surgical drain output are discussed, along with the increased interest in causative factors related to the prevention and treatment reported by many studies, these are still controve...

Bone Fusion in Normal and Pathological Development is Constrained by the Network Architecture of the Human Skull.

Scientific reports
Craniosynostosis, the premature fusion of cranial bones, affects the correct development of the skull producing morphological malformations in newborns. To assess the susceptibility of each craniofacial articulation to close prematurely, we used a ne...

Biomechanical advantages of robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation in posterior lumbar interbody fusion compared with freehand technique in a prospective randomized controlled trial-perspective for patient-specific finite element analysis.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: There have been conflicting results on the surgical outcome of lumbar fusion surgery using two different techniques: robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation and conventional freehand technique. In addition, there have been no studie...

Comparison of the accuracy between robot-assisted and conventional freehand pedicle screw placement: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the different of accuracy between robot-assisted and conventional freehand pedicle screw placement.

Unskilled unawareness and the learning curve in robotic spine surgery.

Acta neurochirurgica
BACKGROUND: Robotic assistance for the placement of pedicle screws has been established as a safe technique. Nonetheless rare instances of screw misplacement have been reported.The aim of the present retrospective study is to assess whether experienc...
