OBJECTIVE: AS ROBOT SYSTEMS FOR SPINE SURGERY HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED, THEY HAVE DEMONSTRATED A HIGH DEGREE OF ACCURACY IN SCREW PLACEMENT WITHOUT SACRIFICING SAFETY OR SURGICAL EFFICIENCY. THESE ROBOTIC SYSTEMS OFFER PREOPERATIVE PLANNING AND REAL-TIME FEEDBACK TO ENHANCE SURGICAL PRECISION AND MITIGATE HUMAN ERROR. NEVERTHELESS, LIMITATIONS TO THEIR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE REMAIN. THE AUTHORS ANALYZED THE INITIAL 100 CASES OF PEDICLE SCREW PLACEMENTS PERFORMED USING THE MAZOR X ROBOT AT THEIR INSTITUTION, PRESENTING CASE EXAMPLES TO ILLUSTRATE THE LIMITATIONS THAT WERE EXPERIENCED, AND REVIEWED CURRENT LITERATURE ON THE LIMITATIONS OF ROBOT-ASSISTED SPINE SURGERY, EMPHASIZING THEIR IMPACT ON ACCURACY AND SAFETY.

Reported narrative: MEDTRONIC RECEIVED INFORMATION REGARDING A GUIDANCE SYSTEM BEING USED DURING A SPINAL PROCEDURE, A T10 TO T4 EXTENSION TO A PREVIOUS CONSTRUCT. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE SURGEON STARTED INSERTING ALL SCREWS ON THE RIGHT SIDE FIRST, STARTING FROM T10 AND GOING DOWN TO T4. WHEN THE SURGEON TAPPED T4, THE NON-MEDTRONIC NEUROMONITORING SYSTEM INDICATED THAT ALL MOTOR FUNCTIONS WERE LOST IN THE PATIENT'S LOWER EXTREMITIES. THE SURGEON USED A BALL-TIP SEALER TO FEEL THAT THERE WAS NO WALL ON THE MEDIAL SIDE OF THE T4 PEDICLE. THEY WERE UNSURE WHY TAPPING WAS INACCURATE BUT SUSPECTED EITHER SKIVING OR PATIENT MOVEMENT. THEY DID NOT OBSERVE ANY SOFT TISSUE PRESSURE ON THE CANNULA NOR DEFLECTION OF THE CANNULA FROM THE GELPEE. THE SURGEON ALSO DID NOT OBSERVE ANY CEREBROSPINAL FLUID (CSF) LEAKAGE.
