Irradiation safety, anesthesia time, surgical complications, and patient-reported outcomes in the robotic Mazor X versus fluoroscopy guided minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion surgery: a comparative cohort study
When implementing RA technology, one can expect similar perioperative outcomes as FA techniques in addition to significantly lower radiation exposure. Moreover, there is no statistically significant difference in postoperative PROs between RA and FA. Longer anesthesia times may also be encountered, as in this study, which is likely a result of more complex robotic setup and workflow.
