Accuracy and Safety Between Robot-Assisted and Conventional Freehand Fluoroscope-Assisted Placement of Pedicle Screws in Thoracolumbar Spine: Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Robotic-assisted surgery (RS) has progressively emerged as a promising technology in modern thoracolumbar spinal surgery, offering the potential to enhance accuracy and improve clinical outcomes. To date, the benefits of robot-assisted techniques in thoracolumbar spinal surgery remain controversial. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of RS compared to fluoroscopy-assisted surgery (FS) in spinal fusion procedures. Materials and Methods: In accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted, using REVMAN V5.3 software. The review protocol was registered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) website with the following registration number: CRD42024567193. Re
