Da Vinci Robotic Assistance for Anterolateral Lumbar Arthrodesis: Results of a French Multicentric Study.

World neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: The da Vinci robot (DVR) is the most widely used robot in abdominal, urological, and gynecological surgery. Due to its minimally invasive approach, the DVR has demonstrated its effectiveness and improved safety in these different discipli...

A Concentric Tube Steerable Drilling Robot for Minimally Invasive Spinal Fixation of Osteoporotic Vertebrae.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Spinal fixation with rigid pedicle screws have shown to be an effective treatment for many patients. However, this surgical option has been proved to be insufficient and will eventually fail for patients experiencing osteoporosis. This failure is mai...

Safety and Accuracy of Robot-Assisted Cervical Screw Placement: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

World neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and safety of robot-assisted (RA) cervical screw placement with conventional freehand (FH) technique.

100 Complex posterior spinal fusion cases performed with robotic instrumentation.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic navigation has been shown to increase precision, accuracy, and safety during spinal reconstructive procedures. There is a paucity of literature describing the best techniques for robotic-assisted spine surgery for complex, multilevel cases or...

Da Vinci Meets Globus Excelsius GPS: A Totally Robotic Minimally Invasive Anterior and Posterior Lumbar Fusion.

World neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive approaches to the spine via anterior and posterior approaches have been increasing in popularity, culminating in the development of robot-assisted spinal fusions. The da Vinci surgical robot has been used for anterior l...

Robot-navigated pedicle screw insertion can reduce intraoperative blood loss and length of hospital stay: analysis of 1,633 patients utilizing propensity score matching.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Navigation and robotic technologies have emerged as an alternative option to conventional freehand techniques for pedicle screw insertion. However, the effectiveness of these technologies in reducing the perioperative complication...

Pedicle Screw Placement Accuracy in Robot-Assisted Spinal Fusion in a Multicenter Study.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Pedicle screw fixation is a spinal fusion technique that involves the implantation of screws into vertebral pedicles to restrict movement between those vertebrae. The objective of this research is to measure pedicle screw placement accuracy using a n...

Retrospective single-surgeon study of prone versus lateral robotic pedicle screw placement: a CT-based assessment of accuracy.

Journal of neurosurgery. Spine
OBJECTIVE: Lateral lumbar interbody fusion including anterior-to-psoas oblique lumbar interbody fusion has conventionally relied on pedicle screw placement (PSP) for construct stabilization. Single-position surgery with lumbar interbody fusion in the...

Learning curves for robotic-assisted spine surgery: an analysis of the time taken for screw insertion, robot setting, registration, and fluoroscopy.

European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to clarify the learning curve for robotic-assisted spine surgery. We analyzed the workflow in robotic-assisted spine surgery and investigated how much experience is required to become proficient in robotic-assis...

Robot-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement accuracy compared with alternative guidance in lateral single-position surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Journal of neurosurgery. Spine
OBJECTIVE: While single-position surgery (SPS) eliminates the need for patient repositioning, the placement of screws in the unconventional lateral position poses unique challenges related to asymmetry relative to the surgical table. Use of robotic g...
