About

Dr. Jeremy Kam is a leading figure in the evaluation of robotic-assisted surgical technologies, with a primary focus on improving outcomes and cost-efficiency in both orthopaedic and cardiothoracic procedures. His research critically examines the practical integration of robotics into the operating room, moving beyond technical feasibility to assess real-world learning curves and economic viability. In his highly cited 2019 study on thoracolumbar surgery (66 citations), Dr. Kam provided essential data on the learning curve for robot-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement, offering a roadmap for surgeons adopting this technology. Earlier, his landmark 2010 cost-analysis study (60 citations) on robotic versus conventional mitral valve repair delivered a rigorous financial comparison, helping to guide institutional decision-making in cardiac surgery. By combining clinical outcomes with health economics, Dr. Kam’s work has directly influenced surgical training protocols and resource allocation. His contributions are vital for students and researchers seeking to understand the translational challenges and fiscal realities of implementing robotic systems in modern surgical practice.
