Summary

This study looks at three ways surgeons place screws in the spine during surgery: using a robot, using a navigation system, or doing it by hand. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer screws needing to be fixed in a second surgery within the first year. About 932 adults with spine problems like disc disease, stenosis, or tumors took part across multiple hospitals in Europe.
