Introduction: Robotic spine surgery is increasing in utilization. Previous studies described improved screw accuracy and fewer complications with robot assisted surgery. Other studies have reported outcomes associated with fellow involvement in spine surgeries. This study focuses on the effect of new fellow involvement in robotic spine surgery. We hypothesize there will be an increase in robot time/screw associated with new fellow involvement.
Methods: Prospectively collected data of patients undergoing robotic spine surgery by a single attending surgeon with assistance of a fellow were reviewed. All fellows completed neurosurgery or orthopedic residency and were undergoing an additional year of training. New fellow and experienced fellow cases were compared through review of operative reports and rotation schedules. An experienced fellow was one who had previous training with the attending surgeon earlier in the training year. Homogeneity of cases between fellows was assessed. Times reported are inclusive of registration.
Results: 82 patients (56%F, mean age 57±18) were included. There were no differences in age, primary diagnosis, levels fused, and revision status between cases by new and experienced fellows. Mean instrumented levels were 8±5. Mean total robotic time for new and experienced fellows was 32.5 and 22.0 minutes (p < 0.05), respectively. Total number of robotic screws was higher for new fellows (18.5 vs 13.1 screws,p < 0.05). There was no difference in mean robot time/screw time (1.9 vs 2.1 minutes,p=0.41). There were no robot related intra-operative complications. All executed robotic screws were accurate and there was no robot abandonment. There was no difference in mean fluoroscopic time (37.0ms and 37.7ms,p=0.9) or radiation doses (15.5mGy and 12.5mGy,p=0.5).
Conclusion : No differences in mean robot time/screw, fluoroscopic time or dose between new and experienced fellows were found. Total robot time was increased for new fellows, however, there was a significant increase in number of screws placed by new fellows which would explain the difference in total robot time. Equivalent time/screw in both groups with no inaccurate screws and no robot related intra-operative complications suggests fellow involvement is safe and doesn't increase time for robot related set-up and utilization.

Award Winning Abstract Presentations: Session 2Moderator: – Mayo Clinic
Moderator: – Barrow Brain and Spine
Introduction: Intraoperative RBC salvage (aka Cell Saver) is widely employed in spinal deformity surgery. Unlike other surgical subspecialities wherein blood is immediately salvaged (with low potential RBC injury), modern approaches to spine surgery inherently result in collection of blood exposed to high-heat electrocautery, prolonged stasis, and abrasive pharmaceuticals, potentially resulting in RBC injury. However, this has not been studied in a scientific manner. We present preliminary results of a prospective study defining the quality of RBC salvage in spinal deformity surgery.
Methods: Patients undergoing spinal deformity surgery with Cell Saver were prospectively enrolled (N = 35). Comparison blood samples include baseline (arterial-line), allogenic (blood bank), and salvage (Cell Saver transfusate). Qualitative laboratory measures of RBC health and hemolysis were collected. Morphological assessment utilized Stimulated Raman Histology (SRH) and artificial intelligence based machine-learning algorithm.
Results: Salvage blood differed significantly from baseline and allogenic blood, including an unpredictable range of RBC density (2.11-9.52 x1000/uL), and significantly lower MCV (smaller RBCs) vs. baseline and allogenic samples (p = 0.015 and 4.05E-8, respectively). SRH revealed a high proportion (30.7%) of often irreversibly injured acanthocytes (shrunken and irregularly spiculated RBCs). Salvage blood samples had significantly higher intracellular components indicating active lysis: potassium (p = 0.019 and 8.2E-16), LDH (p = 3.3E-11 and 1.66E-6), and free-hemoglobin (p = 4.87E-7 and 0.001). The salvage blood mean hemolysis index (HI) was significantly higher than baseline (155x, p = 1.1E-10) and allogenic blood (7.23x, p = 2.29E-5).
Conclusion : Intraoperative salvaged blood is composed of high proportions of irreversibly injured RBCs with HI even exceeding levels suitable for transfusion by US FDA and Council of Europe standards, properties that may decrease the suitability of salvaged RBCs as a blood replacement. Collection of postoperative laboratory data, perioperative outcomes, and ex-vivo mechanical fragility and rheological profiles are currently underway.
How to Improve Patient Care: RBCs salvaged during spinal deformity surgery exhibit signs of irreversible injury and hemolysis, and are potentially poor blood substitutes.

MVP- Top Abstracts: Session 3Moderator: – Harbor UCLA Medical Center
Introduction: Anterior plating on some traditional models has been associated with problems such as dysphagia and mechanical injuries. This study compares clinical outcomes over 8-years between the use of zero-profile stand-alone cages with integrated screw fixation vs. published data of traditional ACDFs.
Methods: Clinical and radiological data were aggregated for patients who underwent single- or multi-level ACDF surgeries between January 2014 and December 2021 with zero-profile stand-alone cage system with integrated instrumentation and screw fixation (n=190). After excluding the cases with missing data, 169 cases (1-level: n=28; 2-levels: n=52; 3-levels: n=65; 4-levels: n=24) were reviewed. Relevant outcome measures included, but not limited to, demographics, and were compared to published literature.
Results: None of the patients experienced any infections, and zero showcased any signs of postoperative complications such as functional pseudarthrosis or chronic dysphagia, and no readmissions were directed. Patients reported no complaints about chronic radicular pain, neck pain or disability. The length of hospital stay shows that the majority of patients (n = 136, 82.42%) discharged the day following surgery, 10 (6.06%) discharged on the same day, and the remainder (n = 19, 11.52%) discharged 2 or more days after surgery, maximum 6 days, showing significantly shorter stay for the present study. While smoking history was a significant predictor, with patients who currently or previously smoked predicted to have a length of hospital stay 0.33 (95%CI: 0.04, 0.62) days longer than those with no history of smoking (p = .042), the full model was not statistically significant (F[6, 150] = 1.89, p = .086, R2 = .07).
Conclusion : The zero-profile stand-alone cages with integrated screw fixation have shown equivalent or greater clinical outcomes including shorter length of hospital stay compared to traditional cage profiles. Further clinical data collection will add to the literature and functional utility.

Specialty Breakout 1: Minimally Invasive/Motion Preservation/General Spine AbstractsModerator: – Department of Neurosurgery, Duke University Hospital
Introduction: Patient surveys are administered to patients in the hospital or clinic to gauge patient satisfaction. However, intrinsic bias may exist when patients are given surveys by physicians or healthcare providers. Social media is an avenue through which patients can freely discuss their perceptions about their condition. We sought to investigate social media aiming to perform patient-centered analysis utilizing posts regarding anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgeries on Twitter and Instagram.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of Twitter and Instagram posts was conducted to identify pertinent themes written by patients who have undergone ACDF surgery. Posts tagged with #acdf, #acdfsurgery, and @acdf were searched. Instagram query resulted in 445 posts about the patients experience, and Twitter search yielded no relevant posts. A single investigator coded all posts as relating to none, one, or multiple themes. A second investigator independently coded all posts. Both results were compared to determine any disagreement. Both investigators discussed all discrepancies until a unanimous decision was made.
Results: Most posts were made post-operatively (93.5%) by women (83.9%). The most common themes were spreading positivity (78.7%), presence of screws/implants (60.9%), awareness of cervical spine pain (57.3%), and quality of life (52.6%). Fisher’s exact test revealed that females are more likely than males to discuss the most difficult part of the experience (p = 0.04) and mental health (p < 0.0001). Most posts (86.1%) had comments underneath. Posts involving resiliency, the most difficult part of the experience, reaching out or offering online support, and the appearance of mobility and stability support were more likely to have comments under the post (p < 0.01). Posts made in 2021 were 7.3 times more likely to discuss fear of the procedure and 2.83 times more likely to discuss general fear than those made in 2020, which may be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion : ACDF patients utilize social media to share personal experiences regarding their surgery and recovery. Gender influenced ACDF patient focus. Patient perception of a condition is essential, so pre-procedural expectations should be emphasized during pre-operative discussions.
How to Improve Patient Care: Spine surgeons can utilize this research to more effectively determine their patient's primary focus both pre- and post-operatively.
