Summary

This study tested a new device called PYTHEAS ODYSSEE that helps surgeons place screws in the spine more accurately. Poorly placed screws can cause serious problems like bleeding or paralysis. The device uses a patient's CT scan to plan screw placement and then guides the surgeon during surgery. 14 adults having spine surgery took part to see if the device improves accuracy and safety.
