Implication

Retrospective analysis shows navigated screw placement improves workflow in minimally invasive spine surgery, suggesting enhanced precision.

Key Points

  • Navigated screw and cage placement was achieved successfully in all cases with minimized workflow disruptions.
  • The mean estimated blood loss was 100 mL, while the average operative time recorded was 124 minutes.
  • In a cohort of 44 patients, 7% of screws experienced proximal facet joint violation, highlighting procedural safety.
  • Post-surgery outcomes indicated significant improvement in the Oswestry Disability Index after an average follow-up of 38.7 months.
