Computer-Guided Navigation System Efficiency Evaluation Using Surgical Instruments for Spinal Fusion.

Background: Navigation surgical systems have been widely used in spinal fusion to ensure accuracy and safety during pedicle screw insertion.

Methods: The research was performed under laboratory conditions, using stereotactic navigation, surgical instruments for spinal fusion, development of additional devices and software. During the experiments, all stages of the computed tomography-guided navigation system use were performed-preoperative preparation of patient data and planning to provide visual control of the navigation of surgical instruments during the insertion of screws.

The concept of spatial motion restriction zones in a robot-assisted surgical system.

The development of robotics and medicine in recent years leads to increasing mutual integration of these two disciplines. The use of specialized robotic solutions in medicine poses new challenges, including the issue of safety. The paper analyzes existing solutions aimed at improving safety in medical robotics.
