In contrast to other surgical fields, robotics is relatively new to spinal surgery. The initial focus for spinal robotics has been on accurate pedicle screw placement, which early studies have shown to be successful. Beyond pedicle screw placement, however, newer generation spinal robots have the capability of navigation, which can impact other aspects of a spinal procedure. In this study, pedicle screw placement with the recently introduced Excelsius GPS robot (Globus) was similarly found to be accurate in a cohort of patients undergoing both open and minimally invasive fusion. Potential applications of the spinal robot's navigation capability are demonstrated.
与其他外科领域相比，机器人技术在脊柱外科领域相对较新。脊柱机器人的最初关注点是准确的椎弓根螺钉放置，早期研究已经证明这是成功的。然而，除了椎弓根螺钉放置之外，新一代脊柱机器人具有导航能力，这可能会影响脊柱手术的其他方面。在这项研究中，在接受开放和微创融合手术的患者队列中，最近推出的 Excalcius GPS 机器人（Globus）的椎弓根螺钉放置同样被发现是准确的。展示了脊柱机器人导航功能的潜在应用。
