Transforming spinal surgery: five years of navigation, workflow optimization and clinical impact

Share

  • 1

    Navigation-assisted spinal instrumentation enhances accuracy, workflow efficiency, and radiation safety in spine surgery.

  • 2

    A total of 557 patients were analyzed, comparing 119 navigated procedures to 438 fluoroscopic procedures.

  • 3

    Navigated cases involved older patients with higher ASA scores and showed improved screw accuracy with reduced radiation exposure.

  • 4

    A learning curve was observed, with time per screw improving significantly from 27 to 19 minutes after navigation adoption.

  • 5

    The study indicates ongoing advancements in navigation technology will further expand its role in spinal trauma surgery.
