Robotic–assisted surgery is a new trend in medicine. To overcome problems in artificial cervical disc replacement surgery, a robot-assisted surgery system which consists of an active 6-UPS parallel robot and its control system, a surgical planning system and an optical tracking system was developed to replace the cumbersome mechanical positioning device. A positioning method for robot-assisted cervical disc replacement surgery will be studied. Firstly, the robot-assisted surgery system is described. Secondly, the coordinate transformation method for robot-assisted surgery positioning is given. Then, a preoperative position and pose planning method is given. Finally, a robot-assisted surgery positioning by using the method in this paper is carried out. The result shows that the robot-assisted surgery positioning method in this paper is an effective method for artificial cervical disc replacement surgery.

Cervical spondylosis is one of the most commonly treated conditions in neurosurgery. Increasingly, cervical disc replacement (CDR) has become an alternative to traditional arthrodesis, particularly when treating younger patients. Thus, surgeons continue to gain a greater understanding of short- and long-term complications of arthroplasty. Here, the authors present a series of 4 patients initially treated with Mobi-C artificial disc implants who developed postoperative neck pain. Dynamic imaging revealed segmental kyphosis at the level of the implant. All implants were locked in the flexion position, and all patients required reoperation. This is the first reported case series of symptomatic segmental kyphosis after CDR.
