BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Navigated and robotic pedicle screw placement systems have been developed to improve the accuracy of screw placement. However, the literature comparing the safety and accuracy of robotic and navigated screw placement with fluorosc...
A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical entity that is updated in real-time by transfer of data between physical and digital (virtual) entities. In this manuscript we aim to introduce a digital twin framework for robotic drilling. In...

PURPOSE: Pedicle screws placement is very common procedure in spinal surgery. Robotic assisted surgery has been widely used in this operation. We assessed the accuracy of thoracolumbar spine trans-pedicle screws (TPS) implantation utilizing a noval r...
OBJECTIVE: Spinal robotics for thoracolumbar procedures, predominantly employed for the insertion of pedicle screws, is currently an emerging topic in the literature. The use of robotics in instrumentation of the cervical spine has not been broadly e...

PURPOSE: Vision-based tissue tracking is a significant component for building efficient autonomous surgical robot system. While the methodology involves various challenges caused by occlusion, deformation and appearance changes.
BACKGROUND: Extended pelvic nodal dissection (ePLND) represents the gold standard for nodal staging in prostate cancer (PCa). Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioguided surgery (RGS) could identify lymph node invasion (LNI) during robot-as...
PURPOSE: Over 4.83 million spine surgery procedures are performed annually around the world. With the considerable caseload and the precision needed to achieve optimal spinal instrumentation, technical progress has helped to improve the technique's s...
BACKGROUND: As a pioneer center in the field of stereotaxy, Sainte-Anne school has always advocated the use of intraoperative imaging for stereotactic procedures to optimize both safety and accuracy. With the advent of intraoperative mobile CT unit, ...
