About
Dr. Lauren Seo is a pioneering spine surgeon whose work bridges the frontiers of robotic surgery and advanced intraoperative imaging. Her primary research focuses on minimally invasive spinal fusion techniques, particularly the integration of robotic assistance and fluorescence-guided visualization to enhance surgical precision and safety. In her landmark 2025 study, "Robotic assisted anterior lumbar interbody fusion with the use of indocyanine green and posterior spinal fusion," Dr. Seo demonstrated a novel approach to treating a 50-year-old patient with grade I spondylolisthesis at L5-S1. By employing the da Vinci robotic system alongside indocyanine green angiography, she enabled a general surgeon to safely access the disc space while visualizing critical vascular structures like the aortic bifurcation—a technique that significantly reduces the risk of vascular injury. Though early in its citation impact, this work represents a paradigm shift in how complex spinal fusions can be performed with greater reproducibility and safety. Dr. Seo’s contributions are shaping the next generation of spine surgery, offering hope for faster recoveries and fewer complications in patients with degenerative spinal conditions.
