About

Lynn B. McGrath is a neurosurgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of spinal surgery, skull base surgery, and surgical navigation technology. McGrath has emerged as a thought leader in image-guided spinal surgery (IGSS), contributing critical analyses of how navigation systems have evolved to enhance patient safety and streamline surgical workflows. His most cited work, "Image Guidance in Spinal Surgery: A Critical Appraisal and Future Directions" (2021, 40 citations), provides a comprehensive historical overview and forward-looking perspective on a rapidly advancing field. Similarly, his widely referenced piece on the future of skull base surgery (36 citations) demonstrates his ability to synthesize complex technical trajectories into accessible, forward-thinking scholarship. Beyond broad reviews, McGrath contributes meaningful technical innovation, as evidenced by his work on single-position lateral lumbar interbody fusion combined with intraoperative CT-navigated pedicle screw fixation — a minimally invasive approach offering improved complication profiles and strong fusion outcomes. His historical account of navigation-guided spine surgery further reflects a commitment to contextualizing modern advances within their broader developmental arc. Collectively, McGrath's publications have accumulated over 80 citations, establishing him as a credible and growing voice in minimally invasive and technology-driven neurosurgery.
