Brief Summary:
To quantify potential short- and long-term benefits of robotically-guided minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) for adult patients with lower back degeneration, in comparison a matching group of control patients operated in a minimally invasive approach whether freehand or with image guidance or navigation techniques.

Group/Cohort
Robotic-guided
Adult patients (21 years or older) undergoing short (4 or less consecutive vertebrae) thoracic, lumbar or lumbosacral percutaneous/minimally invasive robotic-guided spinal fixation surgery.
Freehand image-guided
Adult patients (21 years or older) undergoing short (4 or less consecutive vertebrae) thoracic, lumbar or lumbosacral percutaneous/minimally invasive image-guided freehand or navigated spinal fixation surgery.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Intra-operative exposure to x-ray radiation [ Time Frame: Day of surgery ]
    Reading of exposure in seconds (and KvP if available) from C-arm or other imaging system used in the operating room.

  2. Surgical complications [ Time Frame: Within first year from day of surgery ]
    New neural deficits, implant-related durotomy, infection requiring return to surgery, hardware failure requiring removal, vertebral body fracture, failure to fuse

  3. Revision surgeries [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    All cause revisions


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pedicle screw instrumentation accuracy [ Time Frame: Within 1 year of surgery, if indicated by surgeon and clinically necessary ]
    Accuracy will be quantified in millimeters and scored using the Gertzbein-Robbins classification, based on postoperative CTs that are clinically necessary for the management of the patient.

  2. Incidence of pseudoarthrosis (malunion) [ Time Frame: Within 1 year from surgery ]
    Failure of the operated spinal segment to fuse.

  3. Length of convalescence [ Time Frame: Within 1 year of surgery ]
    Length of stay at the hospital, destination at discharge, time to return to normal activities, time to return to work

  4. Times of intra-operative stages [ Time Frame: Day of surgery ]
    instrumentation time per screw, total surgery time

  5. Ratio of executed vs. planned screws [ Time Frame: Day of surgery ]
    number of screws planned to be robotically inserted and manually inserted instead and cause.

  6. Quality of life assessment [ Time Frame: Each visit up to 1 year1 ]
    Health related quality of life questionnaires, including: back and leg Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), European Quality % Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L)
