Overview

Retrospective analysis highlights improved outcomes in blood loss and complications with navigation-assisted surgery for lumbar fusion.

Key Points

  • Navigation-assisted MIS-TLIF resulted in lower blood loss and reduced complications compared to standard MIS-TLIF.
  • Screw placement accuracy was notably higher at 96.7% for the navigation-assisted group, while standard achieved 88.9%.
  • Both surgical techniques achieved comparable fusion rates, with Grade 1 fusion at 93.3% and 88.9%, respectively.
  • Significant improvements in functional outcomes were noted for both techniques, measured by ODI and VAS scores over one year.
