Preoperative segmentation of the vertebral bodies and design of the navigation channels were conducted. During the procedure, structured light scanning was employed to capture the intraoperative scene and facilitate registration. The navigation channel was adjusted to align with the preoperative design. A 2.0\u2009mm stainless steel Kirschner wire was subsequently inserted into each pedicle through separate punctures. The position of the Kirschner wire was evaluated via the Neo classification system. Intraoperative root mean square (RMS) values and registration accuracy were recorded. The deviations and angles of the preoperative and postoperative entry and exit points were calculated on the basis of the three-dimensional coordinates of these points. Statistical analyses were performed to assess differences in the X, Y, and Z coordinate values of the entry and exit points before and after the procedure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 124 Kirschner wires were inserted, and the Neo classification evaluation for all models was Grade 0, with a puncture accuracy of 100%. There was high consistency between the postoperative Kirschner wire trajectories and the preoperative design. The average intraoperative RMS and registration accuracies were 0.424\u2009\u00b1\u20090.12\u2009mm and 0.01\u2009\u00b1\u20090.008\u2009mm, respectively. The preoperative and postoperative entry point deviation was 0.904\u2009\u00b1\u20090.419\u2009mm, and the exit point deviation was 1.253\u2009\u00b1\u20090.607\u2009mm. The entry and exit point deviation angle was 0.918\u2009\u00b1\u20090.421\u00b0.
