Area of Science:

Spine surgery innovations
Robotic surgical systems
Medical device development

Background:

Spinal surgical robots are emerging technologies.
Current systems require enhancements in usability, cost, and workflow efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel portable, operating room table-mounted spine robot.
To evaluate its accuracy and workflow efficiency against a standard robotic system.

Main Methods:

A new portable spine robot and camera system were described.
Accuracy and workflow efficiency were compared to a commonly used spinal robotic system.

Main Results:

Both robotic systems demonstrated equivalent accuracy in pedicle screw insertion.
The new system showed significant improvements in total procedure time, setup time, and planning-to-insertion time (p<0.05).

Conclusions:

Spinal robotic systems can achieve greater efficiency and lower costs without compromising accuracy.
Increased adoption of efficient and affordable spinal robots can benefit both patients and surgeons.
