About

Gregory D. Schroeder is a leading spine surgeon and researcher whose work is at the forefront of integrating advanced technology into spinal surgery. His primary research areas focus on the application of image-guidance, robotics, and minimally invasive techniques to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes. Schroeder has made major contributions by systematically evaluating the efficacy of robotic-assisted pedicle screw placement compared to traditional freehand methods. His landmark studies, including a 2021 retrospective cohort analysis of over 20,000 patients, demonstrated that robotic guidance reduces 90-day surgical complications and lowers 1-year revision rates. His highly cited papers—such as "Image-guidance, Robotics, and the Future of Spine Surgery" (42 citations) and "Robotics in spinal surgery" (41 citations)—have become essential reading for clinicians adopting these technologies. Schroeder has also advanced the field through cadaveric studies on robot-assisted cervical pedicle screw placement, addressing critical anatomical and technical considerations. His work has been instrumental in establishing the safety and reliability of robotic systems in spine surgery, helping to shape clinical guidelines and drive the adoption of precision-guided techniques across the specialty.
