About
Young Ha Kim is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose research centers on robotic-assisted spine surgery, cerebrovascular interventions, and the integration of advanced imaging technologies in the operating room. His major contributions include demonstrating the accuracy and safety of robotic-assisted pedicle screw fixation through a large single-center study of nearly 500 screw placements, achieving a 98.2% accuracy rate while identifying key risk factors for malposition. Kim has also been instrumental in advancing hybrid operating room techniques for cerebrovascular disease, reporting on over 1,800 procedures using multi-axis robotic C-arm DSA systems. His work on the learning curve for robotic spine surgery has shaped training protocols for the next generation of surgeons, with his 2024 study on resident education earning 9 citations. With a growing citation impact exceeding 30 across his most influential papers, Kim’s research bridges the gap between technological innovation and clinical practice. His comparative analysis of fluoroscopy-guided versus robotic-assisted techniques provides crucial evidence for adopting minimally invasive approaches, positioning him as a leading voice in the evolution of precision spine surgery and neurosurgical training.
