Abstract

The VITOM system for spinal surgery provides outstanding image quality and an ease of manipulation rivaling the OM. There were no statistically significant differences in mean operative room time, intraoperative complications, or total hospital length of stay when using this novel system in several common spinal procedures relative to the OM.
