About
Hans-Joerg Meisel is a leading figure in spinal surgery, whose work bridges regenerative medicine, advanced surgical techniques, and the integration of cutting-edge enabling technologies. His research has fundamentally shaped how spine surgeons approach disc degeneration, tissue repair, and minimally invasive interventions. Meisel is best known for pioneering cell-based therapies for intervertebral disc regeneration, demonstrating that autologous disc chondrocyte transplantation can restore function and delay fusion. His landmark clinical studies have garnered widespread attention, with his most cited papers collectively accumulating thousands of citations—a testament to their influence on both clinical practice and translational research. More recently, Meisel has focused on the adoption of augmented reality, navigation, and artificial intelligence to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes. His 2025 narrative review on enabling technologies, though newly published, signals his continued leadership in shaping the future of spine care. A sought-after educator and innovator, Meisel’s work has not only advanced surgical science but also inspired a generation of spine researchers to think beyond traditional boundaries.
