Summary: Through a systematic review and meta-analysis, it was found that robot-assisted pedicle screw placement technique offers greater accuracy and improved clinical outcomes compared to the traditional freehand technique. The robot-assisted technique showed superior results in Delta VAS, Delta ODI, intraoperative blood loss, and length of hospitalization, while there was no significant difference in operative time.

Summary: The TINAVI robot-assisted technique is associated with high accuracy in pedicle screw placement and a low rate of proximal facet joint violation (FJV). Factors such as female sex, BMI < 25.9, age < 61 years old, and facet angle >= 45 degrees are related to the accuracy of screw placement and proximal FJV.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the factors and their contributions to the accuracy of robot-assisted pedicle screw placement. The results showed that patient-related and screw-related variables have minimal effect on the accuracy of placed screws. This suggests the robustness of the robotic navigation system used in the study.

Summary: The study investigated the safety and accuracy of a new self-guided pedicle tap for pedicle screw placement. The experiment was conducted on adult spine specimens using both conventional taps and the new self-guided pedicle taps. The results showed that the new tap achieved safe and accurate screw placement with a low-cost and convenient procedure, indicating its potential clinical value.
