Abstract:
In recent years, robotic surgery technology has advanced rapidly and is now widely applied in general surgery, urology, and other fields. As spine surgery advances toward minimally invasive, endoscopic, and intelligent approaches, the development of spinal endoscopic surgery robots has become imperative. Current robotic-assisted spine surgery systems offer significant advantages, such as improved accuracy in positioning, enhanced precision in needle placement, reduced radiation exposure, and shorter operative times, etc. However, spinal endoscopic robotic technology is still in its initial development stage and faces limitations such as optical navigation. In the future, the integration of optical and electromagnetic navigation, combined with 3D imaging and robotic technologies, will greatly improve the precision of spine endoscopic surgery. With continued advancements in technology, including the incorporation of artificial intelligence and telemedicine, spinal endoscopic surgical assistant robots are expected to play an increasingly important role in spine surgery, offering promising prospects for development.
