摘要:
A system (10), including various apparatus and methods, for surgical navigation is provided. The system is configured to track the spine of a patient by capturing images via one or more cameras (34, 36). The cameras are configured to capture images of one or more arrays (38). The system transmits the images to a computer system (12). The one or more arrays are releasably secured with the spine of the patient, such as by a spine pin (52) or a spine clamp. The system can determine the spatial position and orientation of relevant anatomical features (4), implants, and instruments (6) using and processing the captured images.
摘要:
This application describes a spinal fixation system. The spinal fixation system includes at least a rod member having shaped ends, at least two pedicle screws capable of receiving the shaped ends of the rod member, and a system for introducing the rod member and pedicle screws in a minimally invasive fashion.
摘要:
Methods are provided for planning, performing, and assessing of surgical correction to the spine during a spinal surgical procedure. These methods are implemented by a control unit through a GUI to digitize screw locations, digitize anatomical reference points, accept one or more correction inputs, and generate one or more rod solution outputs shaped to engage the screws at locations distinct from the originally digitized locations.
摘要:
A system and methods for neurophysiological assessements during surgical procedures are disclosed. The health and status of the lower motor neural pathway is established in tissues having neural structures which if contacted or impinged may result in neural impairment for the patient. A computer-implemented method monitors the health of the lower motor neural pathway before, during spinal surgery. The method includes delivering a first transcutaneous, trans-abdominal stimulation signal to a spinal nerve root superior to a surgical target site; and determining neuromuscular response data set based on transmission on the stimulation signal to a muscle located inferior to the surgical target site.
摘要:
System (20) and related methods for performing surgical procedures and assessments, including the use of neurophysiology-based monitoring to determine nerve proximity and nerve direction to surgical instruments (30) employed in accessing a surgical target site.
