About
Andrew Morokoff is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive spinal surgery and the application of robotic technologies in the operating room. His major contributions center on improving the safety, accuracy, and efficiency of complex spinal procedures, particularly through the evaluation of surgical learning curves. His most-cited study, "Learning Curve for Robot-Assisted Percutaneous Pedicle Screw Placement in Thoracolumbar Surgery" (2019, 66 citations), provides critical insights into the adoption of robotic assistance in spine surgery. This retrospective review systematically analyzed the initial cohort of patients undergoing robot-assisted pedicle screw placement, demonstrating how surgeon experience directly impacts outcomes and procedural success. By quantifying the learning curve, Morokoff has helped establish evidence-based guidelines for training surgeons in robotic techniques, ultimately enhancing patient safety. His work bridges the gap between emerging technology and clinical practice, making him a key figure in the evolution of precision spine surgery. For students and researchers, his studies offer a roadmap for integrating innovation into surgical workflows while maintaining rigorous standards of care.
