Robotic guidance in posterior transdiscal fixation for high-grade spondylolisthesis: a case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spondylolisthesis affects a considerable portion of the population, yet high-grade spondylolisthesis (HGS) is relatively uncommon and is associated with substantial anatomical distortion, instability, and neurologic risk that complicate surgical management. Posterior transdiscal (PTD) fixation has emerged as a minimally invasive, biomechanically robust strategy that enables circumferential stabilization across the lumbosacral junction while minimizing soft-tissue disruption. The integration of robotic guidance in spine surgery may further enhance pedicle and transdiscal screw placement accuracy, streamline workflow, and improve patient safety by reducing reliance on fluoroscopy and minimizing trajectory deviations.
