Description
Yifan Kang, Lindong Wei, and Jianrong Liu pool trials of robot help in teen spine surgery in a 2024 meta-analysis. The surgery fixes curved spines in adolescents with screws into the backbone. Robots promise steadier screw paths than freehand X-ray guidance.
Six studies with 325 patients met the bar. Robot cases placed screws more accurately than guided freehand ones. They also needed about six fewer X-ray shots during surgery. Oddly, robot operations ran about half an hour longer on average. Blood loss, pain scores, and curve angles after surgery did not differ clearly. The authors weigh the accuracy gain against the extra time as robots enter teen spine care.
