Abstract

Spine surgery in patients with a deformity or those who require complex revisions or minimally invasive techniques can be challenging. Robotic-assisted spine surgery systems have shown promising initial results by facilitating a preoperative plan, increasing the accuracy of pedicle screw placement, and thereby reducing potential complications, decreasing operative time, and reducing radiation exposure in the operating room. The currently available robotic systems may show particular benefit in minimally invasive approaches as well. Advancements in spinal robotic systems are occurring rapidly, but further experience and rigorous studies will be required before the full potential of robotic-assisted systems can be realized.
