Evolution of Robotic Spine Surgery Technologies

摘要

Robotic-assisted spine surgery has significantly advanced surgical precision and safety. This is particularly pertinent in minimally invasive spine surgeries that rely on imaging and technologies for visualization and the ability to accomplish surgical goals through smaller surgical corridors. The ability to preoperatively plan and then place pedicle screws across a wide range of applications has reduced the difficulty of even complex surgeries that once may have been considered prohibitive for minimally invasive approaches. While challenges and limitations remain, ongoing research and development aim to address these to continually expand the benefits of robotic-assisted spine surgery.
