About

I. David Kaye is a leading spine surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical precision and outcomes in lumbar fusion, particularly through robotic assistance. His major contributions center on comparing robotic versus freehand pedicle screw placement, demonstrating that robotic technology can improve accuracy and reduce complications in one- to three-level lumbar fusion procedures. His highly cited 2021 study, with 23 citations, was among the first to rigorously evaluate patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for these techniques, showing significant benefits in pain reduction and functional recovery. More recently, his 2024 work, with 4 citations, expanded this analysis to 90-day surgical outcomes and one-year revision rates, providing critical evidence that robotic assistance lowers early complication risks and revision needs. Kaye’s research has been instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines and adoption of robotic systems in spine surgery, offering surgeons and patients data-driven insights into safer, more effective fusion techniques. His work is widely referenced by peers and has influenced surgical training and technology development, making him a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive, technology-enhanced spinal care.
