Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Robotics
  • Orthopedic Oncology

Background:

  • En bloc sacrectomy for sacral tumors is complex due to challenging spinopelvic anatomy.
  • Preoperative imaging aids in planning resection margins but intraoperative execution remains difficult.

Observation:

  • A 22-year-old male with primary sacral osteosarcoma extending to the sacroiliac joint underwent robotic-guided surgery.
  • A transiliac osteotomy was planned using robotic guidance software for virtual planning.

Findings:

  • Robotic guidance enabled precise execution of the planned transiliac osteotomy.
  • The surgery achieved negative tumor margins with an uneventful postoperative recovery.

Implications:

  • Robotic guidance offers a valuable tool for complex sacral tumor resections.
