A minimally invasive, 3D-fluoroscopy-navigation-guided, 3D-controlled pedicle approach in spine surgery: first reliable results and impact on patient safety.

CONCLUSION: Our study shows the feasibility and reliability of a navigation-guided, minimally invasive pedicle approach in the clinical setting. Therefore, reduced morbidity due to minimized approaches can be combined with higher accuracy of navigated pedicle screw/kyphoplasty cannula placement improving patient safety.
