Abstract
Instrumentation of the spine has a long history with the advent and eventual evolution of a number of devices, specifically the pedicle screw which is the primary method of instrumenting the thoracolumbar spine. Traditionally, these were placed using anatomical landmarks; however, as technology has advanced, we have seen the integration of fluoroscopy, navigation, and now robotics for assistance. The integration of robotics into spine surgery has led to increased research and industry investment, which continues to push this promising new technology forward. This paper provides an overview of the robotic arm's effects on surgical outcomes, explores the revolutionary technology behind its remarkable performance, and describes its use in minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion which maximizes efficiency.
期刊介绍:
Orthopaedic Nursing is an international journal providing continuing education for orthopaedic nurses. Focusing on a wide variety of clinical settings - hospital unit, physician"s office, ambulatory care centers, emergency room, operating room, rehabilitation facility, community service programs, the client"s home, and others – Orthopaedic Nursing provides departmental sections on current events, organizational activities, research, product and drug information, and literature findings. Articles reflect a commitment to professional development and the nursing profession as well as clinical, administrative, academic, and research areas of the orthopaedic specialty.
Official Journal of the National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses (NAON)
