Augmented Reality Navigation System (SIRIO) for Neuroprotection in Vertebral Tumoral Ablation.

(1) This study evaluates the impact of the CT-guided SIRIO augmented reality navigation system on the procedural efficacy and clinical outcomes of neuroprotection in vertebral thermal ablation (RTA) for primary and metastatic bone tumors. (2) Methods: A retrospective non-randomized analysis of 28 vertebral RTA procedures was conducted, comparing 12 SIRIO-assisted and 16 non-SIRIO-assisted procedures. The primary outcomes included dose-length product (DLP) and epidural dissection time. The secondary outcomes included technical success, complication rates, and pain scores at procedural time (VAS Time 0) and three months post-procedure (VAS Time 1). The statistical analyses included t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and multiple regression. (3) Results: SIRIO-assisted procedures significantly reduced DLP (307.42 mGycm vs. 460.31 mGycm,
