Summary

This study is testing how accurately the eCential Robotics robot helps surgeons place screws in the spine. About 45 people aged 5 and older who need spine surgery will take part. The robot uses 3D imaging and navigation to guide screw placement, and the study will measure screw accuracy, blood loss, surgery time, and any problems.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: eCential Robotics surgical robot (a robotic system for guiding screw placement in spine surgery)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that the robot helps surgeons place screws more accurately and safely, potentially reducing the need for repeat surgeries.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study (45 people) focused on accuracy, not on long-term outcomes. The robot may not work as well in all patients or surgeries.
