Abstract
Intraoperative navigation is critical during spine surgery to ensure accurate instrumentation placement. From the early era of fluoroscopy to the current advancement in robotics, spinal navigation has continued to evolve. By understanding the variations in system protocols and their respective usage in the operating room, the surgeon can use and maximize the potential of various image guidance options more effectively. At the same time, maintaining navigation accuracy throughout the procedure is of the utmost importance, which can be confirmed intraoperatively by using an internal fiducial marker, as demonstrated herein. This technology can reduce the need for revision surgeries, minimize postoperative complications, and enhance the overall efficiency of operating rooms.
