Electromagnetic navigation guided tailored lamino-pedicular intralesional marginal resection of recurrent sacral osteoblastoma: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Electromagnetic navigation (EMN) is an advanced technology increasingly utilized in orthopedic surgery for its ability to provide real-time intraoperative guidance. Its application in spinal surgery is evolving rapidly, particularly for complex cases like tumor lesions. Spinal osteoblastomas, characterized by their benign nature, primarily affect the posterior elements of the spine. They present treatment challenges due to their potential for recurrence and proximity to critical structures. EMN-guided surgery offers a promising approach to achieve precise tumor localization and tailored resection in such cases. Therefore, reporting cases of spinal osteoblastomas treated with EMN guidance significantly contributes to understanding the efficacy and potential advantages of this innovative surgical approach. Case Description: We present the case of a 17-year-old female with persistent sacral pain initially diagnosed as an osteoid osteoma based on imaging findings. This led to gamma probe-assisted resection. However, subsequent histopathological analysis revealed the lesion to be an osteoblastoma. Upon recurrence, EMN-guided surgery was employed to achieve precise tumor localization and tailored resection of the osteoblastoma in S1 vertebra. The surgical intervention resulted in complete tumor removal, leading to symptom resolution during a 2-year follow-up period. Conclusions: This case highlights the emerging role of EMN in the treatment of spinal tumors, demonstrating its potential to improve precision and patient outcomes. The effectiveness of EMN-guided surgery suggests its potential as a valuable tool in tumor resection procedures. Further research and reporting will help confirm the efficacy of EMN and its integration into routine practice for the treatment of spinal tumors.
