  • Navigation:
    • MIS relies on imaging-based landmarks for screw placement.
    • Advancements include 2D/3D computer-based navigation systems which use a rigid patient-affixed array for reference during imaging.
    • These technologies allow percutaneous pedicle screw placement with decreased radiation exposure and blood loss.
    • Newer systems enable navigated placement of interbody devices.
    • Place the Star between surgeon and the camera so that the surgeon’s do not come and block the Star
