About
Dr. Suomao Yuan is a leading spine surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive spinal surgery through the integration of robotics and navigation technologies. His major contributions center on developing and validating robot-assisted techniques for complex spinal procedures, particularly for conditions like lumbar spondylolisthesis and scoliosis. Dr. Yuan pioneered the percutaneous endoscopic robot-assisted transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (PE RA-TLIF), demonstrating its clinical efficacy with two-year follow-up results (41 citations). His comparative studies have been instrumental in establishing the superiority of robotic-assisted navigation over traditional free-hand and fluoroscopy-guided methods for pedicle screw placement, showing significantly improved accuracy and safety in scoliosis surgery (33 citations) and degenerative lumbar diseases (31 citations). With over 130 citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Yuan's research provides critical evidence supporting the adoption of robotic systems in spine surgery, offering patients reduced complications and better outcomes. His work represents a significant step toward the standardization of robotic-assisted minimally invasive techniques in orthopedics.
