About
Lun Wan is a spine surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on the application of robotic-guided technology in minimally invasive spinal surgery, with a particular focus on thoracolumbar pathologies. His research portfolio demonstrates a sustained commitment to advancing surgical precision while reducing patient burden across a range of complex conditions, including thoracolumbar fractures, osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF), and spinal metastases. Wan's most impactful contributions evaluate the clinical outcomes of robot-assisted percutaneous procedures compared to traditional open surgery. His 2020 studies on robotic-guided pedicle screw fixation and percutaneous kyphoplasty — each accumulating up to 9 citations — established early evidence that robotic guidance reduces operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy exposure, and hospitalization duration. His subsequent 2022 work refining tracer fixation techniques for robotic kyphoplasty further optimized the approach for single-segment OVCF, while his 2023 investigation extended robotic applications to advanced thoracolumbar metastases, demonstrating its feasibility in oncologic spinal care. Collectively, Wan's research positions him as a meaningful contributor to the growing evidence base supporting robot-assisted spine surgery as a safer, more precise alternative to conventional operative methods.
