“…Studies comparing conventional and computer navigation techniques have shown the superior accuracy of this technology [39]. However, few studies [4,12,15,42] rarer; to date, three papers have reported a total of 12 patients with spinal osteoid osteomas treated with the assistance of NAV [20,32,40]. Assaker et al [5] reported two cases of image-guided endoscopic spine surgery but not for tumors.…”

“…Several groups [4,12,15,42] have reported a spinal navigation system (NAV) provides precise localization of the anatomy structures and instruments with minimal radiation exposure. These studies suggest accuracy of approximately 95% and reliability to reduce the margin of error in spinal surgery, such as pedicle screw insertion and resection of a spinal tumor with minimal bone removal.…”

Background A spinal osteoid osteoma is a rare benign tumor. The usual treatment involves complete curettage including the nidus. In the thoracic spine, conventional open surgical treatment usually carries relatively high surgical risks because of the close anatomic relationship to the spinal cord, nerve roots, and thoracic vessels, and pulmonary complications and postoperative pain. Case Report We report the case of a 16-year-old girl with a symptomatic osteoid osteoma at the T9 level whose lesion was currettaged using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) guided by a navigation system (VATS-NAV). There were no complications and the patient had immediate relief of the characteristic pain after surgery and was asymptomatic at 5 months' followup. Literature Review Progressive advances in the technology of spinal surgery have evolved to offer greater safety and less morbidity for patients. The advent of minimally invasive surgery has expanded the indications for VATS for anterior spinal disorders. Spinal navigation systems have become useful tools allowing localization and excision of the nidus of osteoid osteomas with minimal bone resection and without radiation exposure. Clinical Relevance The VATS-NAV combination in our patient allowed accurate localization and guidance for complete excision of a spinal osteoid osteoma through a minimally invasive approach without compromising spinal stability.

“…At the same time, the technically more demanding challenge of combined posterior-anterior surgery was ascertained. During the last decade, the operative treatment of spinal injuries has been advanced considerably: endoscopic and minimally invasive spinal surgery, interbody support implants, and computer-assisted intraoperative navigation have been successfully introduced and are being further developed at a fast pace [7,30,71]. In addition, different operative treatments may be applicable to the three different regions of the thoracolumbar spine: thoracic (T) T1-T10; thoracolumbar junction (TL) T11-L2; and lumbar (L) L3-L5.…”

Operative treatment of 733 patients with acute thoracolumbar spinal injuries: comprehensive results from the second, prospective, internet-based multicenter study of the Spine Study Group of the German Association of Trauma Surgery

The second, internet-based multicenter study (MCSII) of the Spine Study Group of the German Association of Trauma Surgery (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie) is a representative patient collection of acute traumatic thoracolumbar (T1-L5) injuries. The MCSII results are an update of those obtained with the first multicenter study (MCSI) more than a decade ago. The aim of the study was to assess and bring into focus: the (1) epidemiologic data, (2) surgical and radiological outcome, and (3) 2-year follow-up (FU) results of these injuries.According to the Magerl/AO classification, there were 424 (57.8%) compression fractures (A type), 178 (24.3%) distractions injuries (B type), and 131 (17.9%) rotational injuries (C type). B and C type injuries carried a higher risk for neurological deficits, concomitant injuries, and multiple vertebral fractures. The level of injury was located at the thoracolumbar junction (T11-L2) in 67.0% of the case. 380 (51.8%) patients were operated on by posterior stabilization and instrumentation alone (POSTERIOR), 34 (4.6%) had an anterior procedure (ANTERIOR), and 319 (43.5%)
