Abstract

Since the introduction of the basic principle of stereotactic surgery, navigation-guided spine surgery has evolved from using fluoroscopy to computed tomography-guided navigation systems. Among them, the O-arm scanner-based system has been most commonly used due to its advantages. Many studies have shown the safety and accuracy of instrumentation with image-guided spinal navigation systems. Efficacy in the surgical resection of tumors, accuracy in spinal instrumentation, and safety with less radiation exposure for the surgical team and patients have also been reported. With image-guided spinal navigation, simultaneous insertion of the cage from the front and the pedicle screw and rod systems from the back is possible. This surgical technique is named one stop oblique lumbar interbody fusion-ONE (OLIF-ONE). By comparing total operation time, clinical outcomes, and radiological outcomes, OLIF-ONE might reduce surgical time with no significant difference between conventional OLIF procedures in outcomes. OLIF-ONE enabled surgeons to correct spondylolisthesis before insertion of cage and it facilitated to insert the interbody cage at the “sweet spot” which was not easy with a conventional OLIF procedure.
