  • Discussion of intraoperative 3D imaging and its integration with navigation systems.

    • Main Results:

    • Numerous studies confirm the accuracy of pedicle screw implantation using image guidance across spinal regions.
    • Intraoperative 3D imaging facilitates immediate assessment of screw placement.
    • Spinal navigation, coupled with intraoperative imaging, may eliminate the need for postoperative imaging and revision surgeries.

    Conclusions:

    • Spinal navigation significantly improves pedicle screw accuracy.
    • Intraoperative 3D imaging is a key component for real-time feedback and potential screw revision.
    • Further research is needed to definitively establish patient benefit from spinal navigation.
