Core Tip This article confirms that robot-assisted lumbar interbody fusion significantly improves pedicle screw placement accuracy and reduces intraoperative blood loss, with no significant difference in operative time. Additionally, robot-assisted techniques offer clear advantages in reducing surgeon radiation exposure and adjacent segment degeneration. Despite these benefits, long-term clinical and fusion outcomes were comparable to those of conventional methods. These findings support the clinical precision and perioperative efficiency of robotic systems while highlighting the need for high-quality multicenter trials and cost-effectiveness analyses to inform broader implementation in spine surgery.
