About

Frank Yuk is a pioneering neurosurgeon at the forefront of robotic-assisted spine surgery. His research centers on the integration of advanced robotic platforms, such as the Globus Excelsius GPS, into minimally invasive spinal procedures. In his landmark 2023 study, "Da Vinci Meets Globus Excelsius GPS," Yuk demonstrated the feasibility of a totally robotic approach for both anterior and posterior lumbar fusion, a technical feat that pushes the boundaries of precision and patient recovery. This work, already garnering 12 citations, highlights his role in translating complex engineering into practical surgical solutions. Beyond his own innovations, Yuk has shaped the field's discourse through a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited articles in robotic neurosurgery, providing a roadmap of the discipline's evolution and impact. With a growing citation footprint, his contributions are not only advancing surgical techniques but also defining the standards for research in robotic neurosurgery.
