Effect of Intraoperative Image-Guided Spinal Navigation Technologies on Endoscopic Lumbar Spine Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Study DesignMeta-Analysis.ObjectivesIntraoperative image-guided spinal navigation provides real-time imaging during surgery and can enhance pathology localization, optimize working channel placement, and facilitate the learning process of Endoscopic lumbar spine surgery (ELSS). This meta-analysis examined whether intraoperative image-guided spinal navigation offers perioperative and clinical advantages in ELSS compared with conventional C-arm fluoroscopy.MethodsWe systematically searched PubMed, Europe PMC, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov for studies comparing the perioperative and clinical outcome of intraoperative image-guided spinal navigation with conventional C-arm fluoroscopy in ELSS. Results were summarized using the mean difference (MD) or standardized mean differe
