Robotic assisted surgery for the treatment of spine tumors

Abstract

Surgical procedures on patient with metastatic spine disease consist of tumor excision and transpedicular stabilization. Using of robotic assisted system allows to increase accuracy of screw insertion and reduce the complication rate and radiation to stuff.

Keywords:spine tumors, robotic assisted surgery
