About

Dr. Soon Ki Sung is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose research lies at the intersection of robotic-assisted spine surgery, cerebrovascular disease management, and the integration of advanced hybrid operating room technologies. His most impactful work centers on the clinical validation of robotic-assisted pedicle screw fixation (RAPSF), where he has demonstrated exceptional screw accuracy and systematically analyzed risk factors for malposition, contributing to safer, more minimally invasive spinal procedures. With over 11 citations for his landmark single-center study on RAPSF, Dr. Sung has become a leading voice in quantifying the learning curve for robotic surgery, particularly in training the next generation of spine surgeons. He has also advanced the field of cerebrovascular neurosurgery by pioneering combined surgical and endovascular procedures using multi-axis robotic C-arm DSA systems in hybrid operating rooms, performing over 1,800 such procedures. His comparative studies between fluoroscopy-guided and robotic-assisted techniques provide critical evidence for adopting robotic systems in percutaneous fixation. Dr. Sung’s work not only improves patient outcomes but also establishes foundational benchmarks for integrating robotics into neurosurgical training and practice.
