RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Can Robotic Spine Surgery Become the Standard of Care? JF International Journal of Spine Surgery JO Int J Spine Surg FD International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery SP 8276 DO 10.14444/8276 A1 Alexander M. Satin A1 Stanley Kisinde A1 Isador H. Lieberman YR 2022 UL http://ijssurgery.com//content/early/2022/06/28/8276.abstract AB Concerns regarding traditional techniques led to the development of robotic systems to facilitate the safe and accurate placement of pedicle screws. The Mazor Spine Assist was the first robotic spine surgery (RSS) platform to receive US Food and Drug Administration approval in 2004. Since then, there has been a steady increase in the application of RSS with several additional iterations of the Mazor platform and other competing systems receiving approval. As the indications, potential benefits, and utilization of RSS continue to expand, the question naturally arises as to whether RSS will eventually become the standard of care for spine surgery. In this article, we review the available evidence and experience with RSS and discuss the potential for RSS to become the medical standard of care.
