About

Brandon Bucklen is a spine surgery researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding and implementation of robotic-assisted surgical technologies in spinal procedures. His research centers on pedicle screw placement accuracy, surgical robotics, and outcome optimization in spinal fusion surgery. Bucklen's most cited work, a 2022 retrospective multicenter study examining factors affecting accuracy in robot-assisted pedicle screw placement, has garnered 19 citations and helped identify the key variables that influence surgical precision in this rapidly evolving field. His earlier 2017 in vitro analysis comparing conventional percutaneous and robotic-assisted screw techniques laid important groundwork for understanding the practical trade-offs in dosage, accuracy, and surgical time. Bucklen has also contributed system-specific data validating the ExcelsiusGPS robotic guidance platform, and his research using triggered electromyographic testing demonstrated that robotic assistance not only permits larger pedicle screw sizes but simultaneously improves patient safety. Collectively, his body of work — spanning retrospective clinical analyses, laboratory studies, and safety evaluations across hundreds of patients — has provided spine surgeons and researchers with critical evidence supporting the adoption and refinement of robotic guidance systems in modern spinal surgery.
