Abstract

The use of robotic guidance for spinal instrumentation is promising for its ability to offer the advantages of precision, accuracy, and reproducibility. This has become even more important in the era of lateral interbody surgery because spinal robotics opens up the possibility of a straightforward workflow for single-position surgery in the lateral position. We present here a case of a 72-yr-old woman who presented with an L4-5 spondylolisthesis with axial back pain and radiculopathy. She subsequently underwent an L4-5 oblique lumbar interbody fusion with L4-5 bilateral posterior instrumentation in a single lateral position (Mazor X Stealth Edition, Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Medtronic Inc, Dublin, Ireland). Due to the oblique lateral approach and posterior robotic assistance, both surgeons were able to work simultaneously for increased efficiency. To our knowledge, this is the first video demonstrating a two-surgeon simultaneous robotic single-position surgery with oblique lumbar interbody fusion using a spinal robotic platform. There is no identifying information in this video. Patient consent was obtained for the surgical procedure and for publishing of the material included in the video.
