Implication

Meta-analysis reveals intraoperative image-guided spinal navigation improves operation efficiency in endoscopic lumbar spine surgery, highlighting potential advantages over C-arm fluoroscopy.

Key Points

Intraoperative image-guided spinal navigation significantly reduces total operation time by about 11 minutes, enhancing surgical efficiency.
Patients experienced fewer puncture attempts and shorter cannulation time, indicating improved procedural success with image-guided navigation.
Meta-analysis included 19 studies with 1390 patients, showcasing robust evidence for the efficiency of intraoperative spinal navigation.
No notable differences in clinical outcomes were detected, underscoring the need for further research on long-term benefits.
