Summary

Spinal surgery has evolved considerably over the years, and the introduction of advanced technologies has played a crucial role in improving clinical outcomes. The use of surgical robots, such as the eCential Robotic system, has emerged as an innovative solution for optimizing the precision and safety of procedures, particularly the placement of pedicle screws in the spine. The eCential Robotics surgical robot offers several advantages for the placement of pedicle screws in the spine. Various studies have demonstrated a significant improvement in screw accuracy and stability, reducing revision surgery rates with surgical robots. The system enables advanced preoperative planning based on three-dimensional imaging, improving understanding of the patient's specific anatomy. This study will also provide a clinical basis for the CE marking process. The objective of this prospective study is to collect data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the eCential Robotics robot when used during spine and pelvic surgeries.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	eCential Robotics solution	The robotic aid is adaptable to all cannulated pedicle screw implantations in spine surgery. The eCential Robotics solution consists of a unified platform combining 2D/3D imaging, navigation and robotics. The procedure consists of : * Setting up the patient reference on the patient's spinal processes * 2D then 3D imaging (low-dose technology, using a 5-axis motorized X-ray C-arm to optimize trajectory and increase reconstruction volume) * Intraoperative planning of implants based on the patient's image in the operating position * Navigation: automatic matching of patient and 3D imagery with factory pre-calibrated single-use instruments. Real-time visualization of the trajectory in the 3D image. * Robotic surgery: collaborative robot-surgeon handling. Automatic alignment of pedicle aiming instruments with workflow control from the sterile zone. * 3D imaging to control screw positioning
