OBJECTIVE The quest to improve the safety and accuracy and decrease the invasiveness of
pedicle screw placement in spine surgery has led to a markedly increased interest in robotic …

Background Increased uptake of robotic surgery has led to interest in learning curves for
robot-assisted procedures. Learning curves, however, are often poorly defined. This …

Background Pedicle screw placement is a commonly performed procedure. Robot-guided
screw placement is a recent technological advance that has shown accuracy and reliability …

Background: Preoperative planning software and a robotic device facilitate the placement of
pedicle screws, especially in patients with difficult anatomy, thereby increasing the …

Purpose Over 4.83 million spine surgery procedures are performed annually around the
world. With the considerable caseload and the precision needed to achieve optimal spinal …

OBJECTIVE Robot-guided pedicle screw placement is an established technique for the
placement of pedicle screws. However, most studies have focused on degenerative disease …

Whenever any new technology is introduced into the healthcare system, it should satisfy all
three pillars of the iron triangle of health care, which are quality, cost-effectiveness, and …
