PY - 2019 TI - Review of robotic-assisted surgery: what the future looks like through a spine oncology lens JF - Annals of Translational Medicine; Vol 7, No 10 (May 31, 2019): Annals of Translational Medicine (Focus on “Spinal Tumor Surgery”) Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Recent advancements in medical technology have led to the emergence of robotic-assisted surgery with the hope of creating a safer and more efficient surgical environment for the patient and surgical team. Spine surgery and spine tumor surgery involve challenging anatomy and demand highly precise surgical maneuvers, creating an important niche for robotic systems. While still in its infancy, robotics in spine surgery have proven successful in pedicle screw placement. Similarly, robotics has begun to be used for accurate resections and surgical planning in tumor surgery. As future studies are published and robotics systems continue to evolve, we can expect more tactile haptic feedback and implementation of useful instruments to improve preoperative planning, resection guidance, and reconstruction during spine tumor surgery.
