About

Michael J. Strong is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic-assisted spinal surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive techniques for complex spinal disorders. His primary research areas center on the integration of navigation and robotic platforms to enhance surgical precision, safety, and patient outcomes. Dr. Strong’s major contributions include pioneering the single-position prone lateral lumbar interbody fusion, a technique that reduces operative time and morbidity by eliminating the need for patient repositioning. His landmark 2019 paper on robotic-assisted spinal surgery, cited 66 times, established foundational protocols for the field. He has further demonstrated the feasibility and safety of these approaches through detailed case series and operative videos, including work on sacroiliac joint fusion for chronic lower back pain. By refining the diagnosis and surgical management of conditions that mimic lumbar radiculopathy, Dr. Strong has significantly impacted the standard of care. His work, accumulating over 90 citations, continues to shape the next generation of spine surgeons, offering patients less invasive pathways to recovery.
