R<strong>of</strong>fman 11 Orthopaedic Department, Lady Davis Carmel Medical Center, 2 Robotic laboratory,Department <strong>of</strong> Mechanical Engineering, Technion, Haifa, IsraelIntroduction: Our clinic has started to use MAZOR's Spine-Assist® robotic device in routinespinal surgery practice since 2006. The use <strong>of</strong> this system is diverse and now applicable forVertebroplasty, Biopsy procedures and different techniques <strong>of</strong> Spinal fusion. During this timeour clinic performed near 150 robotic assisted surgeries.Amongst its benefits <strong>the</strong> system allows <strong>the</strong> reduction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> duration <strong>of</strong> fluoroscopic exposure in<strong>the</strong> OR, better accuracy due to computerized assisted planning and navigation, avoidance <strong>of</strong>human caused complications and a less traumatic procedure for <strong>the</strong> patient. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand,<strong>the</strong> duration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> procedure is prolonged, <strong>the</strong> wound is subdued to a longer exposure in cases<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> open surgery, and <strong>the</strong> operational cost is higher and requires a good trained medical staff.Materials and Methods: In <strong>the</strong> last 2 years we have performed 56 robotic assistedVertebroplasty procedures (research group). At <strong>the</strong> same time we have performed 44 nonassisted Vertebroplasty procedures. There was a significant difference in <strong>the</strong> fluoroscopic timefile:///E|/<strong>ISTA</strong>2010-Abstracts.htm[12/7/2011 3:15:47 PM]
