About
Yonghao Tian is a spine surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotically assisted spinal surgery. His research focuses primarily on the application of advanced navigation and robotic technologies to complex spinal procedures, including transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and scoliosis correction surgery. Tian has made significant contributions to understanding how robotic-assisted systems can improve surgical precision and patient outcomes compared to traditional fluoroscopy-guided and free-hand techniques. Among his most notable achievements is his technical development and clinical evaluation of Percutaneous Endoscopic Robot-Assisted TLIF (PE RA-TLIF), a pioneering approach that combines endoscopic minimally invasive surgery with robotic guidance to treat lumbar spondylolisthesis, garnering 41 citations since its 2022 publication. His comparative studies on pedicle screw placement accuracy across robotic, O-arm, and free-hand techniques in scoliosis surgery have become important reference points for surgical teams navigating technology adoption decisions, collectively accumulating over 90 citations. Through rigorous retrospective analyses and two-year clinical follow-ups, Tian's body of work has meaningfully shaped evidence-based protocols for next-generation spinal surgery, establishing him as a credible and influential voice in orthopedic and neurosurgical literature.
