- Title
Expanding the Scope of Robotic Spinal Surgery With Bone Decompression: Commentary on "Advancements and Challenges in Robot-Assisted Bone Processing in Neurosurgical Procedures".
- Authors
Ryu, Stephen
- Abstract
The article discusses the potential for expanding the capabilities of robotic spinal surgery to include bone decompression. While robotic systems have been used for pedicle screw placement in spinal surgery, there is limited economic evidence to justify the costs associated with these systems. The next step for spinal robotics is to assist in bony decompression, but there are challenges such as navigation system accuracy, regulatory issues, and end effector reliability. The article explores the feasibility and limitations of using a robotic arm fitted with an endoscope and a drill for bone removal, highlighting concerns about reliability and feasibility.
