About
Dr. Xuexiao Ma is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive spinal surgery through computer-assisted navigation and robotic systems. His major contributions lie in rigorously evaluating the accuracy, safety, and clinical outcomes of robot-assisted pedicle screw placement compared to traditional freehand techniques. In his landmark 2021 study of 105 cases, Dr. Ma provided critical insights into robotic deviation sources and demonstrated superior screw accuracy over open freehand surgery for lumbar spondylolisthesis, a finding that has informed surgical best practices (16 citations). He further advanced the field by directly comparing a novel electromagnetic navigation system against a robot-assisted system for percutaneous screw placement during endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion, showing equivalent precision with potential efficiency gains (12 citations). This work has been instrumental in guiding surgeons on technology selection for complex spinal procedures. Dr. Ma’s research is highly cited for its practical, data-driven approach to improving patient safety and surgical reproducibility, establishing him as a key voice in the evolution of computer-guided spine surgery.
