Abstract:
Presently, the invasiveness of direct repair surgery for lumbar spondylolysis is relatively high. Thus, high school and junior high school students who play sports often cannot return to sports before graduation because of the invasiveness. The use of a robotic system enabled an accurate and minimally invasive procedure. Robotic-assisted minimally invasive direct pars repair surgery is useful for young patients with progressive spondylolysis.
