About
Dr. Yew-Weng Fong is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon whose work centers on advancing the safety and precision of minimally invasive spinal surgery. His primary research focuses on the integration of intraoperative navigation and robotic fluoroscopy to improve pedicle screw placement. In his landmark study, "Accuracy and safety of pedicle screws implantation using Zeego and Brainlab navigation system in hybrid operation room," Dr. Fong demonstrated how combining 3D robotic fluoroscopy with navigation systems in a hybrid operating room can significantly enhance screw accuracy while reducing radiation exposure for both surgeons and staff. This work, which has garnered over 2 citations, provides critical evidence for adopting hybrid OR technologies in complex spinal procedures. Beyond this, Dr. Fong is recognized for his contributions to surgical education and the development of safer, more efficient operative workflows. His research directly addresses the dual challenges of maximizing surgical precision and minimizing occupational hazards, making him a key figure in the evolution of modern, technology-driven spine surgery.
