About
Dainn Woo is a spine surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving the safety and precision of spinal surgery through advanced intraoperative imaging and robotic technologies. His primary research areas include radiation exposure in spinal procedures, the comparative effectiveness of surgical navigation systems, and the optimization of perioperative outcomes in posterior lumbar fusion. Woo’s most significant contribution is a 2020 retrospective clinical review that systematically compared radiation exposure and surgical outcomes across three techniques: CT image-guided navigation, robotic assistance, and traditional intraoperative fluoroscopy. This study, which has garnered 26 citations, provides critical evidence for surgeons seeking to minimize patient radiation risk while maintaining procedural accuracy. By quantifying the trade-offs between these technologies, Woo’s work directly informs clinical decision-making in modern spine surgery. His findings are particularly relevant as the adoption of robotic and navigation systems accelerates, highlighting the need for evidence-based guidelines on radiation safety. Through this research, Woo has established himself as a key voice in the ongoing effort to balance technological innovation with patient safety in spinal surgery.
