A significant advantage of robotics in oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) is the capability to perform single-position surgery, allowing simultaneous anterior and posterior procedures without the need to reposition the patient.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective review of 25 consecutive patients who underwent robotic-navigated single-position OLIF spine surgery was performed.

Diagnoses included grade 1 (10 patients) or grade 2 (7 patients) spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease (8 patients). The mean operative time from incision to closure was 101.2\u2009\u00b1\u20097.2\u2005min, with an estimated intraoperative blood loss of 90.0\u2009\u00b1\u200916.6\u2005ml.
