Minimally Invasive Robotic-Assisted Complex Adult Spinal Deformity Correction in a Surgical Specialty Hospital: Bringing Adult Spinal Deformity Care Closer to Home

: This study demonstrates the feasibility of performing complex, robotic-assisted ASD corrective surgery in a surgical specialty hospital, achieving significant correction of sagittal and coronal deformities, relieving patients' symptoms, and offering efficiency and consistency to pedicle screw placement. This study demonstrates that a minimally invasive approach to complex deformity reconstruction reduces perioperative morbidity with decreased operative times, EBL, and LOS when compared to historic controls. This approach allows for the democratization of deformity care in that procedures typically reserved for large academic centers can be successfully accomplished at smaller institutions in optimized patients by qualified surgeons with appropriate perioperative support staff.
