About
Bo Gao is a leading researcher in the field of spinal surgery, with a primary focus on the accuracy and safety of robot-assisted pedicle screw placement. His work specifically investigates the feasibility of performing these complex procedures under regional anesthesia rather than the standard general anesthesia, aiming to reduce patient risk and recovery time. In a major contribution, Gao led a retrospective cohort study that compared robot-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement under regional anesthesia against conventional fluoroscopy-guided techniques. This pivotal research, which has garnered 22 citations, demonstrated that the robot-assisted method can achieve high screw placement accuracy even without general anesthesia, challenging long-standing clinical protocols. A subsequent comparative cohort study further validated these findings. By pioneering the use of regional anesthesia in robotic spinal surgery, Gao’s work has significant implications for broadening patient eligibility for minimally invasive procedures and improving perioperative outcomes. His research is highly regarded for its potential to transform standard practices in orthopedic and neurosurgical spine care.
