About
Robert V. Starling is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic-assisted spine surgery, with a primary focus on the integration of preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation. His most-cited work, a 2021 retrospective cohort study and literature review, introduced the "Scan-and-Plan" workflow for next-generation robot-assisted pedicle screw insertion. This contribution is pivotal, demonstrating how streamlined imaging and planning protocols can enhance surgical accuracy, reduce operative time, and improve patient safety in complex spinal procedures. With over 10 citations, this paper has become a foundational reference for surgeons adopting robotic systems, reflecting its immediate impact on clinical practice. Starling’s research bridges engineering and medicine, offering practical solutions that translate technological innovation into tangible surgical outcomes. His work is notable for its emphasis on efficiency and reproducibility, making advanced robotics more accessible in operating rooms worldwide. For students and researchers, Starling exemplifies how rigorous clinical evaluation can drive the evolution of minimally invasive techniques, setting new standards for precision in orthopedics and neurosurgery.
