About

Jin Peng Du is a leading spine surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical precision and outcomes in complex spinal deformities, particularly adult degenerative scoliosis. His major contributions center on evaluating and comparing cutting-edge assisted technologies for pedicle screw fixation. His most-cited paper (167 citations) rigorously compared robot-assisted pedicle screw placement against the free-hand fluoroscopy-guided method, demonstrating the superior accuracy of robotic technology in spine surgery. This work has helped establish evidence for the adoption of robotic assistance in spinal procedures. In a subsequent influential study (81 citations), Du analyzed radiological and clinical outcomes across three different assisted technologies—robotic, navigation, and conventional—for pedicle screw insertion in adult degenerative scoliosis, providing critical guidance for surgical decision-making. He has also explored innovative intraoperative techniques, such as combining gelatin sponge impregnated with a three-drug mixture for nerve root blocks with robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Du’s research, accumulating hundreds of citations, has been instrumental in validating robotic and navigation technologies, directly impacting surgical practice and patient safety in spine surgery.
