The newest generation Mazor X (Mazor Robotics Ltd, Caesarea, Israel) was used. Accuracy of screw placement was determined to be grade I to IV. Grade I was in the pedicle (no breach\/deviation), grade II was breach &lt; 2 mm, grade III was breach 2 to 4 mm, and grade IV was breach &gt;4 mm; breach direction (superior, lateral, inferior, or medial) was also recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty patients underwent robotically assisted pedicle screw placement of 75 screws at 24 levels. Seventy-four screw placements (98.7%) were grade I; 1 (1.3%) was grade II (medial). No complications occurred. Mean time for screw insertion was 3.6 min. Mean fluoroscopy time was 13.1 s and mean radiation dose was 29.9 mGy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We found that next-generation robotic spine surgery was safe and feasible with reliable and precise accuracy and a minimal learning curve.
