Abstract
Introduction: Lumbar spine fixation and fusion is currently performed with intraoperative tools such as intraoperative CT scan integrated to navigation system to provide accurate and safe positioning of the screws. The use of microscopic visualization systems enhances visualization and accuracy during decompression of the spinal canal as well.
Methods: We introduce a novel setting in microsurgical decompression and fusion of lumbar spine using an exoscope with robotized arm (RoboticScope) interfaced with navigation and head mounted displays.
Conclusion: Spinal canal decompression and fusion can effectively be performed with RoboticScope, with significant advantages especially regarding ergonomics.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
