About

Dr. Hui Yan is a spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive spinal surgery, with a particular focus on the precision and safety of robotic-assisted techniques. Their most-cited study, "Risk factors analysis for pedicle screw placement deviation in robot-assisted MIS-TLIF," investigates the critical variables that can compromise screw accuracy during robot-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF). By analyzing clinical data from 65 patients treated between 2020 and 2023, Dr. Yan identifies key risk factors for pedicle screw deviation, offering actionable insights to improve surgical outcomes and reduce complications. This work directly addresses a pressing challenge in spinal robotics—ensuring consistent, reliable implant placement. With 1 citation already, this foundational study is poised to influence future protocols and training in robotic spine surgery. Dr. Yan’s contributions are vital for surgeons seeking to harness robotic assistance while mitigating error, ultimately enhancing patient safety in complex lumbar fusion procedures.
