About

Dr. Cui Cui is a pioneering orthopedic surgeon whose research focuses on the application of robotic assistance in spinal surgery, particularly for complex trauma and degenerative conditions. Her most influential work, "Learning Curve of Robot-Assisted Percutaneous Kyphoplasty for Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures" (2020, 40 citations), established foundational benchmarks for surgeons adopting robotic techniques, demonstrating that proficiency can be achieved after approximately 20 cases—a critical insight for clinical training and patient safety. More recently, Dr. Cui has advanced the field with her 2024 retrospective study comparing robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery to traditional fluoroscopy-guided open fixation for thoracolumbar fractures in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. This work addresses a high-risk population where conventional approaches carry elevated complication rates, showing that robotic assistance reduces operative time and blood loss while achieving equivalent or superior screw placement accuracy. Her contributions are shaping evidence-based protocols for integrating robotics into spine surgery, bridging the gap between technological innovation and practical clinical outcomes. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Cui is establishing herself as a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive, robot-guided spinal interventions.
