3. Kobe Red Cross Hospital Background Cervical pedicle screw has been shown to provide excellent mechanical strength.Abumi et al Screw misplacement leads to injury of the spinal cord, root, and vertebral artery. Studies recommend navigation-assisted surgery for cervical pedicle screw fixation in order to prevent complications and increase accuracy.

4. Kobe Red Cross Hospital Limitations of conventional CT-based navigation system Special markers or anatomic landmarks are needed. Manual matching (registration) is subject to potential errorsand time-consuming. Repeated and segmented registration must be needed for each vertebra. Changes in the anatomy cannot be detected intra-operatively.

5. 3D reconstruction Kobe Red Cross Hospital Iso-C 3D with navigation system 2D projections in DR mode (50 in 1 minute / 100 in1-2 minutes) approx. (12 cm)3 3D volume data 256slices/scan No manual registration ! Entire spine is matched to navi. images ! 3D images of intraoperative anatomy can be detected ! Real Time Navigation !!

6. Kobe Red Cross Hospital Objectives To evaluate prospectively the accuracy, feasibility, advantages and applications of intra-operative Iso-C 3D in cervical spinal surgery

7. Kobe Red Cross Hospital Patients and Methods 290 cases 131:cervical, 126:thoracolumbar, 33:pelvic trauma Pedicle Screws 1435 screws cervical : 553 screws, thoracolumbar: 882 screws Lateral mass screws 86 screws Odontoid screws 6 screws Iliac screws 112 screws Iliosacral screws 10 screws

8. Kobe Red Cross Hospital Post-operative evaluation of pedicle screws (Thin-cut CT, 1.25mm) Grade 1: screw threads cut into the cortex Grade 2: screw perforation of the cortex by up to 2 mm Grade 3: screw perforation of the cortex by more than 2 mm Grade 2 and Grade 3 regarded as misplacements Grade 1 Grade ３

9. Kobe Red Cross Hospital Results – pedicle screw cervical thoracolumbar Grade 2 ( < 2 mm): 10 screws 22 screws Grade 3 ( > 2 mm): 4 screws 7 screws Cortical perforation up to 2 mm 43 / 1435 screws ( 3.0 %) No deterioration in the initial neurological status No injured or irritated nerve root No vascular injury

10. Kobe Red Cross Hospital Clinical workflow in registration-free 3D navigation surgery The patient is positioned on a non-metallic carbon table to maximize image quality and to minimize artifacts. A reference arc is placed on a spinous process Carbon table and Mayfield cramp

11. Kobe Red Cross Hospital It takes 120 seconds to obtain and reconstruct the 3D data.

12. Kobe Red Cross Hospital The image data is transferred directly to the navigation system. The screw trajectory is prepared using a cervical awlbyKotani et al

17. Kobe Red Cross Hospital Advantages of Iso-C 3D C-arm • Accurate correlation between 3D • images and current patient anatomy • ２． Navigational support based on updated image data Educational tool for mastering surgical technique Applicable to minimally invasive surgery

18. Review of cervical or thoracic pedicle screw literature Kobe Red Cross Hospital “Miss” Percentage Thoracic Weinstein et al (1988) 32 screws 21% Vaccaro et al (1995) 90 41% Abitol et al (1996) 48 50% Liljenqvist et al (1997) 120 25% Xu et al (1998) 95 54.7% Cinotti et al (1999) 126 24% Cervical Abumi et al (2000) 669 6.7% With Navi. ( Thoracic ) Youkilis et al (2001) 224 8.5% With Navi. and Iso-C(trauma) Our cases1435 3.0 %

19. Kobe Red Cross Hospital Disadvantages and Pitfalls (Iso-C3D , navigation surgery) • Image quality • Cost Navigation system, Iso-C3D, Carbon bed, Mayfield headholder • Operating staff for navigation surgery • Mechanical or Human error Interference between reference arc and probe Blurring of navigation images Eye movement between the operative field and monitor

20. Kobe Red Cross Hospital Conclusions Registration-free navigation surgery with the Iso-C was successfully used in 100 consecutive initial patients with cervical lesions Intraoperative 3D navigation showed significant advance in the safety and accuracy of operative procedures. This system will assist in performing truly minimally invasive surgeries.
