About
Dr. Min Tong is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for lumbar degenerative diseases, with a particular focus on the integration of navigation and robotic technologies. Dr. Tong’s major contributions lie in rigorously evaluating the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted spinal surgery compared to conventional methods. Their most cited study, a 2024 retrospective analysis of 38 patients, directly addresses the controversial question of whether navigation robots improve pedicle screw placement accuracy in oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF). This work, which has garnered 6 citations, provides critical evidence on optimizing internal fixation—a key factor for successful lumbar fusion—and is foundational for surgeons adopting minimally invasive, technology-driven approaches. By systematically comparing outcomes, Dr. Tong helps clarify the real-world benefits of robotic assistance, influencing clinical protocols and patient safety standards. Their research is essential reading for spine surgeons and biomedical engineers seeking to understand the practical advantages and limitations of surgical robotics in orthopedics.
