About
Michael Folse is a rising figure in neurosurgical innovation, with a focused expertise in robotic systems for spinal surgery. His major contribution lies in critically evaluating the real-world outcomes of robotic-assisted procedures, moving beyond technical feasibility to assess clinical metrics that matter most. In his highly cited 2025 review, "Robotic Systems in Spinal Surgery," Folse synthesizes evidence on accuracy, radiation exposure, hospital readmission rates, cost, and adverse events—providing a balanced, data-driven perspective on whether robotics truly improve patient care. This work, already garnering 18 citations, serves as a foundational resource for surgeons and researchers navigating the adoption of new technologies. By highlighting both benefits and limitations, Folse helps shape a more rigorous approach to integrating robotics into the operating room, ensuring that innovation is guided by evidence. His scholarship is particularly valuable for students and clinicians seeking to understand the practical implications of robotic assistance in pedicle screw placement and vertebral fusion, marking him as a thoughtful contributor to the future of surgical practice.
