The current state and prospects of spine surgery robotics research
The history of spine surgery robots entering clinical practice has been 20 years,and they are currently mainly used to assist pedicle screw implantation.Spine surgery robots can significantly im-prove the accuracy of screw implantation and reduce radiation exposure for patients and surgeons.In the fu-ture,the indications for spine surgery robots will continue to expand,from the current ability to perform open and percutaneous pedicle screw implantation to the ability to perform automatic planning,automatic screw placement,automatic biopsy,vertebroplasty,automatic decompression and osteotomy,and remote surgery.The integration of spine surgery robot technology with artificial intelligence(AI)technology can drive the automation level of the surgical robot system,and the highly intelligent spine surgery robot will be the trend of future development.
