Abstract

Minimally invasive techniques in spine surgery have continued to advance as robotic technology has evolved over several years. Although traditional pedicle screw techniques are still used widespread, new technology has increased the reliability of accurately inserting instrumentation with smaller incisions and subsequent decreased recovery times. This chapter describes the surgical techniques and operative workflow for insertion of pedicle screws with robotic technology. The robotic platform, registration, surgical planning, and placement of instrumentation are discussed in detail. We described about spine robot techniques using CUVIS-spine robot (CUREXO INC, Korea), which is the first Korean domestic spine robot and is in practice in Korea.
