Abstract

The Surgivisio system is a new generation of intraoperative 3D imaging, used in our institution for pedicle insertion in minimally invasive spine surgery since January 2018. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the Surgivisio system, its advantages and its limitations, in percutaneous spinal surgery. Results of the first year of use were analyzed, in a series of 29 patients, to evaluate accuracy of pedicle screw insertion, operative time and radiation exposure. On the Heary and Gertzbein classifications, 95.5% of pedicle screw placements (107/112) were rated as acceptable. Mean operative time was 29.3min per vertebra; mean radiation exposure per vertebra was 0.61 mSv. The Surgivisio system is an effective navigation tool for pedicle screw insertion in minimally invasive spinal surgery, with acceptable radiation exposure and operative time for each navigated vertebra. Level of evidenceII, prospective cohort study.
