Robotic pedicle screw placement for minimal invasive thoracolumbar spine surgery: a technical note by Luthfi Gatam, Luthfi Gatam, Luthfi Gatam, Phedy Phedy, Phedy Phedy, Syafruddin Husin, Harmantya Mahadhipta, Asrafi Rizki Gatam, Asrafi Rizki Gatam, Asrafi Rizki Gatam, Mitchel Mitchel, Karina Sylvana Gani, Erica Kholinne, Erica Kholinne

“…It also covers the surgical process, including patient positioning, dynamic reference placement, intraoperative cone-beam tomography, screw planning, exposure, and insertion techniques for spinal stabilization.DiscussionA meta-analysis highlighted the significant advantages of robotic spine surgery over traditional freehand techniques, including a notably lower complication rate (4.83% vs. 14.97%) and up to a tenfold reduction in surgeon radiation exposure compared to fluoroscopy. Additionally, robotic systems enhance pedicle screw placement accuracy, achieving a 91.7% success rate. …”
