Abstrakt: Objective: In spine surgery, ensuring the safety of vital structures is crucial, and various instruments contribute to the surgeon's confidence. This study aims to present outcomes from spinal cases operated on using the freehand technique and neuronavigation with an O-arm in our clinic. Additionally, we investigate the impact of surgical experience on outcomes by comparing early and late cases operated on with neuronavigation. Method: We conducted a retrospective analysis of spinal patients operated on with the freehand technique and neuronavigation in our clinic between 2019 and 2020, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Cases operated on with neuronavigation using the O-arm were categorized into early and late groups. Results: This study included 193 patients, with 110 undergoing the freehand technique and 83 operated on utilizing O-arm navigation. The first 40 cases with neuronavigation formed the early group, and the subsequent 43 cases comprised the late group. The mean clinical follow-up was 29.7 months. In the O-arm/navigation group, 796 (99%) of 805 pedicle screws were in an acceptable position, while the freehand group had 999 (89.5%) of 1117 pedicle screws without damage. This rate was 98% in the early neuronavigation group and 99.5% in the late neuronavigation group. Conclusions: The use of O-arm/navigation facilitates overcoming anatomical difficulties, leading to significant reductions in screw malposition and complication rates. Furthermore, increased experience correlates with decreased surgical failure rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
