Multicenter Study
Comparison of Robotics and Navigation for Clinical Outcomes Following Minimally Invasive Lumbar Fusion.
Retrospective cohort. ⋯ Robotics did not seem to lead to significantly better clinical outcomes compared with navigation following MI-TLIF. Although the clinical outcomes may be similar, robotics offers the advantages of reduced radiation exposure, greater screw size, and slightly better accuracy over navigation. These advantages should be considered when determining the utility and cost-effectiveness of robotics in spine surgery. Larger multicenter prospective studies are required in the future to further investigate this subject.
