Area of Science:

  • Spinal Surgery
  • Robotics in Medicine
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Pedicle screw placement is crucial for spinal stabilization but faces accuracy challenges.
  • Complications can arise from inaccurate screw placement, necessitating improved surgical techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an optical camera-based robot-assisted drilling system for spine surgery.
  • To enhance the accuracy and safety of pedicle screw placement.

Main Methods:

  • Preoperative CT scans were used for planning screw trajectories.
  • An optical camera-based robotic system performed drilling in synthetic phantoms and ex-vivo ovine spines.
  • Postoperative scans were registered to quantify drilling accuracy.

Main Results:

  • The system achieved a median entry point distance error of 1.51 mm and a median angle error of 2.30°.
  • 95.83% of pedicle screw placements were deemed clinically successful.
  • The system demonstrated precise spatial registration between patient anatomy and the robotic system.

Conclusions:

  • Optical camera-based robot-assisted drilling offers a promising approach to increase accuracy in spine surgery.
  • This technology has the potential to reduce complications associated with pedicle screw placement.
  • The system enables precise alignment and execution for improved surgical outcomes.
