Abstract

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Robot assisted orthopedic surgery has been gradually popularized in clinical practice, and its application fields include spine, joint, trauma and sports medicine, which are precise and minimally invasive. However, there are few reports on the application of robot assisted puncture biopsy in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal lesions.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical value of percutaneous biopsy assisted by orthopedic surgical robot in the diagnosis of spinal lesions.
METHODS: The clinical data of 38 patients with spinal lesions treated in Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from November 2018 to January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent percutaneous biopsy assisted by TINAVI orthopedic surgery robot. The biopsies were sent to the pathology department for histopathological examination.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The successful rate of biopsy was 100% in 38 samples. Of them, 21 cases affected metastases; 4 cases had primary malignant tumors; 5 cases suffered from borderline tumors; 5 cases had benign tumors; and 3 cases experienced non-specific inflammatory reaction. (2) The average operation time was (37.11±5.65) minutes, and no complications occurred in all patients. (3) Robot assisted percutaneous biopsy is a safe, rapid, minimally invasive and accurate method for the diagnosis of spinal lesions.
