About

Dr. Chang Hyeun Kim is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work centers on the integration of advanced imaging and robotic technologies into cerebrovascular and spinal surgery. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the transformative potential of the hybrid operating room (OR) for treating complex cerebrovascular diseases. In a landmark 2020 study, Dr. Kim reported on 1,832 neurosurgical procedures performed in a hybrid OR equipped with a multi-axis robotic C-arm DSA system, establishing a new standard for combining surgical and endovascular approaches in a single setting. This work, which has garnered 10 citations, highlights his role in advancing minimally invasive, multidisciplinary care. More recently, Dr. Kim has focused on spinal surgery, comparing fluoroscopy-guided and robot-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw fixation. His 2024 study, though newly published, underscores his commitment to refining minimally invasive spinal techniques through the use of artificial intelligence and robotics. Dr. Kim’s research is characterized by a practical, outcomes-driven approach, directly impacting patient safety and surgical precision. His pioneering use of hybrid ORs and robotic assistance positions him as a key figure in the evolution of modern, technology-enhanced neurosurgery.
