About

A. Noelle Larson is a spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of surgical navigation, robotics, and pediatric spine surgery. Larson has made meaningful contributions to advancing the safety and precision of spinal instrumentation, particularly in the context of pedicle screw placement in pediatric patients — a technically demanding procedure where accuracy is paramount. Her 2020 paper on navigation and robotics in pediatric spine surgery, which has garnered 5 citations, explores how computer-guided navigation and three-dimensional imaging have transformed surgical practice by improving both safety and efficiency for young patients. Larson's more recent work reflects a commitment to standardization and error reduction in robotic-assisted spine surgery (RASS). Her 2025 contributions include the development of a novel classification system for potential error sources in RASS and a best practice guideline aimed at building clinical consensus — both important steps toward broader and safer adoption of robotic platforms in operating rooms. Complementing this, her state-of-the-art 2021 navigation review provides a valuable educational overview of the evolving technological landscape for spinal surgeons. Collectively, Larson's research positions her as a thoughtful leader driving evidence-based innovation in modern spine surgery.
