About
Jean-Marc P Lucas is a pioneering spine surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex spinal pathologies. His primary research areas include robotic-guided spinal surgery, cortical bone trajectory (CBT) fixation, and the management of adjacent segment disease. Lucas’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of combining robotic guidance with CBT screws in previously instrumented spines—a paradigm shift that allows surgeons to avoid traditional, more invasive pedicle screw revisions. His landmark 2021 study, cited 6 times, showed that this dual-trajectory approach significantly reduces the need for large posterior incisions, lowers infection risks, and minimizes muscular dissection, thereby accelerating patient recovery. Though early in his career, Lucas’s work has already influenced surgical decision-making for complex revision cases. His innovative integration of robotics with bone-sparing fixation techniques marks him as a rising authority in the field, with potential for broader adoption of his methods in degenerative spine surgery.
