Robot-Assisted spine surgery in kids: a safety check
NCT ID NCT05071144
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is a registry that collects information from children and teens up to age 21 who are having spine surgery with robotic and navigation tools. The goal is to track how accurately screws are placed and how much radiation patients and surgeons receive. No new treatment is being tested; instead, researchers hope to learn how to make these advanced surgeries safer and more effective.
