About
Yuqin Sun is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing spinal surgery techniques, particularly through the integration of robotic assistance. Her major contributions lie in the comparative analysis of surgical precision and patient outcomes, most notably demonstrated in her highly cited 2019 study comparing robot-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement to conventional open fluoroscopic-guided methods. This pivotal work, which has garnered 85 citations, systematically evaluated superior-level facet joint violations—a critical measure of surgical accuracy and long-term spinal health. By providing robust, prospective cohort data, Sun has helped establish the clinical advantages of robotic systems in reducing tissue damage and improving screw placement precision. Her research directly addresses the pressing need for minimally invasive, technology-driven solutions in spine surgery, offering evidence that supports the adoption of robotic assistance to enhance patient recovery and reduce complications. Sun’s work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers exploring the intersection of robotics and orthopedics, marking her as a key contributor to the evolution of safer, more effective spinal interventions.
