About
Irma Zhang is a leading figure in the field of spinal neurosurgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted and navigated spinal instrumentation. Her major contributions center on advancing the safety and precision of complex spinal procedures, particularly through the integration of robotic systems and intraoperative navigation. Zhang’s most-cited work, a technical note and case series on the Cirq robotic arm for transpedicular instrumentation, demonstrates her commitment to translating cutting-edge technology into clinical practice. This study, which detailed the placement of 714 thoracolumbar screws with high accuracy, has garnered 12 citations and serves as a foundational reference for surgeons adopting robotic assistance in spinal fusion. Beyond this, her research portfolio explores outcomes in minimally invasive techniques and the reduction of perioperative complications. Zhang’s work is notable for its pragmatic, data-driven approach, offering reproducible protocols that enhance surgical reproducibility and patient safety. Her contributions are shaping the next generation of spinal surgery, making her a respected voice in the ongoing evolution of image-guided and robotic-assisted orthopedics.
