About

Omri Maayan is a leading researcher in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery, with a primary focus on the integration of robotics and navigation technologies to improve surgical outcomes. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of how robotic assistance can enhance precision and reduce complications in lumbar fusion procedures. Maayan’s most-cited studies, including a 2023 comparison of robotics versus navigation for minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF), have garnered over 25 citations each, highlighting their impact on clinical practice. He has also explored the learning curve associated with robotic MI-TLIF, demonstrating how surgeon experience influences proficiency and patient safety. In a landmark analysis of 1,050 pedicle screws placed using a floor-mounted robot, Maayan provided critical data on accuracy and violation rates. Notably, his 2024 prospective controlled trial revealed that robotic-assisted navigation significantly reduces surgeons’ mental workload compared to traditional fluoroscopic and CT techniques, underscoring the potential for improved surgeon well-being and patient safety. Maayan’s contributions are shaping the next generation of spine surgery, making procedures safer and more efficient.
