Common Complications in Robotic Spine Surgery

Robotic-assisted (RA) spine surgery has ushered in a new era of precision and efficiency in spinal procedures. Yet, alongside its growing adoption, the technology brings its own set of clinical challenges. A new comprehensive review—“Robot-assisted versus navigated spinal fusion surgery: a comparative multicenter study on transpedicular screw placement accuracy and patient outcomes”—published in the Neurosurgical Review on June 21, 2025, systematically examines the most frequent complications associated with RA spine surgery and proposes evidence-based strategies to mitigate them.
