7. T6

9. Pedicle screws
can be used in the
subaxial spine offering
greater stability when
compared with lateral
mass screws and spinous
process wiring,
but are larger
and have
a greater risk
of VA injury

28. Take home messages

29. A dramatic reduction in radiation
exposure

33. Στο μακρινότερο μέλλον θα
είναι ίσως δυνατή η
πραγματοποίηση τμημάτων
ή και ολόκληρης της
επέμβασης/εξέτασης από το
robot.
Προς το παρόν, η έρευνα
σχετίζεται με τη δυνατότητα
παροχής πληροφοριών
στον ιατρό, ώστε η
επέμβαση να
πραγματοποιείται
καλύτερα και ευκολότερα.
