About

Yu-Feng Su is a neurosurgical researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted spinal surgery, with a particular focus on pedicle screw placement accuracy, minimally invasive techniques, and surgical outcomes in osteoporosis patients. Based at Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, Su has been a pioneer in implementing and evaluating the Renaissance bone-mounted miniature robotic system for spinal procedures since 2013, contributing foundational research that has shaped how surgeons assess and validate intraoperative accuracy. His most influential contribution — "Assessing the Intraoperative Accuracy of Pedicle Screw Placement by Using a Bone-Mounted Miniature Robot System through Secondary Registration" (2016, 76 citations) — introduced a novel intraoperative classification system that has become a reference standard in the field. Complementary studies examining factors affecting screw placement accuracy and validating K-wire placement grading systems further cemented his methodological contributions, collectively accumulating over 135 citations. Beyond robotics, Su has expanded into regenerative medicine, exploring 3D-printed bioceramics for bone defect repair. His more recent work addresses surgical learning curves, team dynamics, and complication prevention in osteoporotic patients, reflecting a mature research program bridging technical innovation with practical clinical improvement.
