Comparison between Robot-Assisted and Conventional Pedicle Screw Placement
Introduction
The placement of pedicle screws is a crucial step in spinal surgery. Precise positioning is essential for the stability and pullout strength of the screws. Robot-assisted placement promises higher accuracy and an improvement in postoperative outcomes. The aim of this cohort study is to compare the accuracy of screw placement using a robot versus the conventional method. The primary endpoint was the screw placement according to the Gertzbein-Robbins classification.
Methods
In a single-center, retrospective cohort study, 105 patients who were operated on with the aid of a robot were compared to 115 patients who underwent conventional surgery. Adults requiring dorsal instrumentation for degenerative diseases and fractures were included. Ethics committee approval was obtained.

A research paper explaining how external tools such as hand held MRI or ISTAT can help diagnosis and treat diseases in the prehospital setting. If possible, provide sources and examples using hand held MRI machines, ISTAT, portable ultrasounds, & video telegraphy with physicians to improve prehospital treatment. It is not limited to only those options. Any innovative equipment that can improve patient outcomes is welcomed.
