description Introduction: Robot ‑assisted surgery is becoming increasingly popular and its application is expanding to various spinal surgical procedures, including endoscopic spinal surgery. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe a novel small parallel orthopedic surgical robot and evaluate its feasibility in assisting surgeons during percutaneous lumbar laminectomy on cadaveric specimens. Materials and methods: The authors of the study developed a new orthopedic surgical navigation system (R ‑Pharos, Rossum Robot Co., Ltd, Beijing, China), consisting of a navigation cart and a hybrid serial ‑parallel bedside robotic arm. The system is equipped with interactive software for selecting and planning the percutaneous lumbar laminectomy target and path. A cadaveric specimen was selected for a right ‑side partial laminectomy at L4. During the procedure, the surgeon used the robotic arm to guide the saw to the target lamina and perform the percutaneous resection. Postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and endoscopic assessments were used to confirm the resection outcome. Results: After optimizing the precision of the small parallel orthopedic surgical robot to 1 mm, it was shown to meet the navigational requirements for percutaneous lumbar laminectomy. The surgeon utilized the interactive software to design the resection range and path for the right L4 lamina which was suc cessfully resected, as confirmed by endoscopic observation. A postoperative CBCT scan revealed that the resection area precisely matched the preoperative design. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the small parallel orthopedic surgical robot was capable of preoperatively planning the lamina resection area and could assist the surgeon in performing percutane ous lumbar laminectomy with high navigational precision.
