In the emerging field of robot-assisted spine surgery, radiographic evaluation pedicle screw accuracy in clinical application is an area high interest. This study describes first 56 consecutive cases which navigated robotic assistance was used a private practice setting. A retrospective, Institutional Review Board-exempt review surgery performed. Pedicle malposition, reposition, and return to operating room (OR) rates were collected. CT-based Gertzbein Robbins system (GRS) classify accuracy....
Abstract Minimally invasive lateral interbody fusion has distinct advantages over traditional posterior approaches. When stabilization is needed, percutaneous placement of pedicle screws from the decubitus position may potentially increase safety and improve operative efficiency by precluding need for repositioning. However, safe in remains technically challenging. This study describes screw single-position lumbar (SP-LLIF) cases which navigated robotic assistance was used. A single-surgeon,...
Proper pedicle screw placement is an integral part of spine fusion requiring expertly trained surgeons. Advances in medical imaging guidance have improved accuracy. There high interest the emerging field robot-assisted surgery; however, safety and accuracy studies are needed. This study describes first 100 cases which navigated robotic assistance was used a private practice clinical setting. A single-surgeon, single-site retrospective Institutional Review Board-exempt review surgery...
Robotic assistance with integrated navigation is an area of high interest for improving the accuracy minimally invasive pedicle screw placement. This study analyzes placement between attending spine surgeon and a resident by comparing left right sides first 101 consecutive cases using navigated robotic in private practice clinical setting. A retrospective, Institutional Review Board-exempt review 106 robot-assisted surgery was performed. One one performed consistently on either or side...
In the emerging field of robot-assisted spine surgery, radiographic evaluation pedicle screw accuracy in surgical setting is high interest. Advances medical imaging have improved placement, from fluoroscopy-guided to computer-aided navigation.A retrospective, institutional review board-exempt first 106 navigated surgery cases was performed. Radiographic preoperative and postoperative computerized tomography (CT) scans were collected.In cases, 630 lumbosacral screws placed. Thirty placed five...
The inherent properties of the human amniotic membrane (HAM) suggest its potential for use as a physical barrier during surgery to protect neural elements and vessels from surrounding environment. objective this study was evaluate effect dual-layer, chorion-free amnion patch (DLAM; ViaShield®, Globus Medical Inc., Audubon, PA, USA) processed HAM protective following lumbar laminectomy in sheep model. A multiplex immunoassay performed quantify cytokines present after processing. Twelve...
Study Design Biomechanical cadaveric study. Objectives Multi-rod constructs maximize posterior fixation, but most use a single pedicle screw (PS) anchor point to support multiple rods. Robotic navigation allows for insertion of PS and cortical (CS) within the same pedicle, providing 4 points bony fixation per vertebra. Recent studies demonstrated radiographic feasibility dual-screw lumbar spinal fixation; however, biomechanical characterization this technique is lacking. Methods Fourteen...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Background:</h3> Static interbody spacers are standard of care for minimally invasive lateral lumbar fusion (MIS LLIF). However, placement large static typically requires multiple trialing, endplate preparation, and forceful impaction. A expandable spacer with adjustable lordosis can be inserted at a reduced height, to optimize the endplate-to-endplate fit. This study describes radiographic clinical outcomes in patients treated using titanium MIS LLIF. <h3>Methods:</h3>...
INTRODUCTION: Use of large interbody spacers in minimally invasive lateral lumbar fusion (MIS LLIF) commonly offers favorable clinical and radiographic results. Expandable with adjustable lordosis offer Situ expansion that may optimize endplate contact maximize/maintain sagittal correction until occurs. This study compares outcomes between patients treated static expandable for MIS LLIF. METHODS: is a multi-surgeon, retrospective, institutional review board-exempt chart consecutive who...
