About
Dr. Jiajia Sun is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for degenerative spinal conditions. Her landmark 2019 study, which has garnered 29 citations, directly compared O-arm navigation and microscope-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) against conventional TLIF for treating lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis. This work demonstrated that the modified MIS-TLIF approach—integrating real-time intraoperative navigation with microscopic visualization—achieves superior clinical outcomes, including reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and comparable or better fusion rates than traditional open surgery. Dr. Sun’s contributions are particularly significant in an era where spine surgeons seek to minimize tissue trauma while maximizing precision. By validating the synergy of O-arm navigation and microscope assistance, she has helped establish a new standard for safe, effective MIS-TLIF. Her research directly impacts surgical decision-making, offering patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis a less invasive pathway to recovery. With ongoing work in spinal biomechanics and navigation technology, Dr. Sun continues to shape the future of evidence-based, patient-centered spine surgery.
