Study Design: Narrative review. Objectives: Robotic systems in spinal surgery may offer potential benefits for both patients and surgeons. In this article, the authors explore the future prospects and current limitations of robotic systems in minimally invasive spine surgery. Methods: We describe recent developments in robotic spine surgery and minimally invasive spine surgery. Institutional review board approval was not needed. Results: Although robotic application in spine surgery has been gradual, the past decade has seen the arrival of several novel robotic systems for spinal procedures, suggesting the evolution of technology capable of augmenting surgical ability. Conclusion: Spine surgery is well positioned to benefit from robotic assistance and automation. Paired with enhanced navigation technologies, robotic systems have tremendous potential to supplement the skills of spine surgeons, improving patient safety and outcomes while limiting complications and costs.

AbstractIn this study, a new percutaneous multi-function pedicle locator was designed for personalized three-dimensional positioning of a pedicle in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) without computer-assisted navigation technology. The proposed locator was used in a number of patients during MISS, and its advantages were analyzed. Based on the position of a pedicle determined by computed tomography (CT) and fluoroscopic images of a patient, 6 lines and 2 distances were used to determine the puncture point of a pedicle screw on skin, while 2 angles were used to indicate the direction of insertion of a pedicle guide needle from the patient's body surface. The results of the proposed locator were compared with those of the conventional freehand technique in MISS. The potential benefits of using the locator included enhanced surgical accuracy, reduced operation time, alleviation of the harmful intra-operative radiation exposure, lower costs, and shortened learning curve for young orthopedists.

Minimally Invasive Spine

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) continues to evolve, and the advent of robotic spine technology may play a role in further facilitating MISS techniques, increasing safety, and improving patient outcomes. In this chapter we review early limitations of spinal robotic systems and go over currently available spinal robotic systems. We then summarize the evidence-based advantages of robotic spine surgery, with an emphasis on pedicle screw placement. Additionally, we review some common and expanded clinical applications of robotic spine technology to facilitate MISS. The chapter concludes with a discussion regarding the current limitations and future directions of this relatively novel technology as it applies to MISS.

Minimally Invasive Spine

Abstract A new percutaneous multi-function pedicle locator was designed to be used for personalized three-dimensional positioning of a pedicle in minimally invasive spine surgery without computer-assisted navigation technology. This article instructed the method and advantages of using a new percutaneous multi-function pedicle locator in minimally invasive surgery of the spine. Based on the position of a pedicles suggested by CT and X-ray images of a patient, 6 lines and 2 distances were used to determine the puncture point of a pedicle screw, while 2 angles were used to determine the inserting direction of a pedicle guide needle from the patient's body surface. The result of application of the locator was roughly compared with that of the conventional freehand technique. The potential benefits of using the locator included enhancing surgical accuracy, reducing the operation time, mitigating the harmful intra-operative radiation exposure, saving the costs and shortening the learning curve of young orthopedists. It was hoped that more doctors and patients will benefit from it.
