About
Dr. Kelly Gassie is a pioneering spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly robotic-assisted spine surgery. Her most-cited study, a 2021 perioperative comparison of robotic-assisted versus fluoroscopically guided transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (46 citations), established critical benchmarks for surgical precision, reduced blood loss, and shorter hospital stays, directly influencing modern operative protocols. Dr. Gassie also addresses the intersection of technology and patient education, as demonstrated by her 2023 analysis of YouTube videos on robotic spine surgery (8 citations), which highlights the reliability of online resources for informed consent. Beyond these contributions, she is recognized for integrating evidence-based innovation into clinical practice, bridging the gap between cutting-edge robotics and tangible patient outcomes. Her work not only shapes surgical standards but also empowers patients through accessible, accurate information. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Gassie continues to drive the evolution of spine surgery toward safer, more effective, and patient-centered care.
