Intraoperative navigation systems enhance cervical spine surgery safety and minimally invasive approaches. However, challenges like technical difficulties, radiation exposure, and cost require further research and improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Intraoperative navigation is common in thoracolumbar spine surgery but increasingly used in cervical procedures.
  • Limited literature exists on the history, applications, benefits, and drawbacks of navigation in cervical spine surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the history, applications, advantages, and disadvantages of intraoperative navigation systems in cervical spine surgery.
  • To provide recommendations for future improvements in cervical spine navigation technology.

Main Methods:

  • Extensive literature review of peer-reviewed journals (PubMed), clinical trials, and case studies.
  • Focus on the evolution and application of intraoperative navigation in cervical spine surgery, including the latest technologies.

Main Results:

  • Navigation facilitates minimally invasive cervical spine surgery, decompressions, corpectomies, and tumor excisions.
  • Enhances accurate and safe implant placement, especially for high-precision screw fixations (occipital condyle, odontoid, transarticular, translaminar).
  • Challenges include technical difficulties, increased patient radiation exposure, and high costs.

Conclusions:

  • Intraoperative navigation systems are effective for various cervical spine procedures, aiding minimally invasive approaches.
  • Technical challenges impacting accuracy, increased radiation exposure, and cost are significant drawbacks needing future attention.
