5G-based Telerobot-assisted Spine Surgery

This study retrospectively analyzed cases of remote robot-assisted spine surgery performed jointly by the Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Spinal Surgery and partner hospitals, with cases of local orthopedic robot-assisted spine surgeries performed by Beijing Jishuitan Hospital between April 2021 and December 2021.

About this study

Local orthopedic robot-assisted spine surgeries were performed according to the guidelines for thoracolumbar pedicle screw placement assisted by orthopedic surgical robots.

Based on the 5G network, the orthopedic robotic remote surgery platform is built at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, providing primary hospitals with a platform for preoperative consultation, intraoperative communication and surgical robot teleoperation, and postoperative follow-up. With the support of the 5G network, equipment and surgical robots are integrated into the remote surgery service platform, building a high-speed transmission channel between Beijing Jishuitan Hospital and other hospitals.

Procedure

Based on the 5G network, the orthopedic robotic remote surgery platform is built at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, providing primary hospitals with a platform for preoperative consultation, intraoperative communication and surgical robot teleoperation, and postoperative follow-up. With the support of the 5G network, equipment and surgical robots are integrated into the remote surgery service platform, building a high-speed transmission channel between Beijing Jishuitan Hospital and other hospitals.

Primary outcomes

  1. The accuracy of guide-wire placement or positioning

    Time frame: 1 month

    according to the Gertzbein and Robbins scale, including grade A (screw was completely within the pedicle), grade B (pedicle cortical breach <2 mm), grade C (pedicle cortical breach <4 mm), grade D (pedicle cortical breach <6 mm), and grade E (pedicle cortical breach >6 mm).

Secondary outcomes

  1. operation time

    Time frame: 1 day

    Time from start to finish of surgery

  2. complication

    Time frame: 1 month

    Nerve injury, epidural hematoma, and infection

  3. network interruptions

    Time frame: 1 day

    failure to establish connection, the interruption of connection and severe delays in connection, and remote surgery abandonment.
