About

Jakub Godzik is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic spine surgery, whose work is reshaping how complex spinal procedures are performed. His research focuses on the precision, safety, and efficiency of robotic guidance systems, particularly the ExcelsiusGPS® platform, for pedicle screw placement and minimally invasive fusion. Godzik’s major contributions include landmark studies that quantitatively assess the accuracy and reliability of robotically guided percutaneous pedicle screw fixation, demonstrating superior deviation from pre-planned trajectories compared to freehand techniques. He has also pioneered single-position lateral and transforaminal interbody fusion with robotic bilateral screw fixation, a technique that eliminates the need for patient repositioning, thereby reducing operative time and potential complications. With his most-cited papers accumulating over 280 citations, Godzik’s work has become foundational reading for surgeons adopting robotic assistance. His technical overviews and operative videos serve as essential educational resources, while his innovations in single-position surgery offer tangible benefits in treating conditions like grade II spondylolisthesis. Through rigorous clinical evaluation and technical refinement, Godzik is driving the next generation of minimally invasive, robotically enhanced spine surgery.
