Abstract

The need to improve accuracy and safety in the placement of pedicular screws is one of the main concerns of all spine surgeons. The different methods available to navigate the spine during surgical procedures may help to increase the correctness of instrumented spine surgery. Obviously, this point is particularly relevant in percutaneous and minimally invasive spinal surgery [3, 4, 7, 29].
