Abstract Research and design A retrospective, clinical, non‐randomized, controlled study. Objective To evaluate the application of a new spinal navigation robot on percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) under local anaesthesia. Methods The result of inserting the puncture needle into the simulated pedicle was observed in vitro. Thirty patients with thoracolumbar fractures were enrolled. The basic data, operation‐related data and clinical effect scores were recorded. The learning curve of robot‐guided surgery was analysed. Results The maximum yaw angle of the puncture needle implanting into the simulated pedicle is 0.5°. The operation time (33.93 ± 5.97 min vs. 53.75 ± 14.08 min, p = 0.000) and the average X‐ray exposure time (31.43 ± 4.93 s vs. 54.69 ± 2.15 s, p = 0.000) was significantly less in the robot group. The surgeons quickly mastered the technique of robot‐guided pedicle puncture after three surgeries. Conclusions Robot‐assisted PVP could performed under local anaesthesia with the new robot.
