This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a robotic system designed to assist surgeons during laminectomy — a surgery that removes bone from the spine to relieve pressure on nerves. The study compares spine surgery performed with robotic assistance to the same surgery performed by surgeons using traditional hand-held instruments. Researchers want to see if the robotic system performs the surgery more accurately and safely while achieving the same or better pain relief.
Spine surgery requires great precision because the surgical area is small and close to important nerves. This robotic system is designed to help surgeons be more precise, potentially reducing bleeding, shortening surgery time, and improving overall safety and patient outcomes.
If you qualify, you will be randomly assigned to receive either robotic-assisted spine surgery or traditional manual surgery — both performed by experienced surgeons at one of three participating hospitals. You will undergo the laminectomy procedure and then be monitored to evaluate how well the surgery relieved your pain, how accurately the bone was removed, and how safely the procedure was completed. The researchers will compare outcomes like pain relief, nerve function, surgery time, and bleeding between the two groups.
