Abstract

Robotic assistance for spine surgery has seen a resurgence in the last decade, with numerous navigation-integrated robotic systems now available for commercial use. This paper briefly reviews the historical context of robotic surgery, summarizes the current robotic spine surgery platforms, and outlines medicolegal implications and general trends of litigation for spine surgery as they relate to robotic navigation. The focus of this review is on pedicle screw instrumentation, complications, and the learning curve for robotic navigation, and how these aspects relate to medical malpractice claims.
