Abstract:
The technology in spinal surgery clinical treatment is undergoing revolutionary changes in recent years. Artificial intelligence shows promise in enhancing diagnosis, personalizing treatment, and predicting outcomes. Robotic surgery improves safety and precision but its cost-effectiveness limits widespread use. Augmented reality can enhance screw placement accuracy and efficiency, yet requires refinement in precision and user interaction. Three-dimensional printing, through personalized guides and implants, optimizes surgical procedures, though further clinical studies are needed to validate long-term benefits. New implant designs and materials, facilitated by topological optimization, carbon fiber composite polyetheretherketone, present opportunities for creating anatomically and biomechanically congruent spinal implants. This review analyzes the potential and challenges of these advancements in improving surgical accuracy, reducing complications, and meeting individualized treatment needs, aiming to foster the development of more effective and safer spinal surgical techniques. These technologies collectively offer enhanced precision and patient outcomes, signifying a transformative shift in spinal healthcare.
