About

Chih-Lung Lin is a pioneering spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of robotic-assisted surgery, spinal biomechanics, and minimally invasive techniques. His primary research areas include the accuracy and safety of pedicle screw placement, robotic systems in spinal surgery, and improving outcomes for high-risk populations such as osteoporosis patients. Lin’s major contributions include developing and validating an intraoperative robotic classification system for assessing pedicle screw and K-wire placement accuracy, a method that bridges real-time surgical feedback with postoperative CT-based grading. His 2016 study on the bone-mounted miniature robot system, cited 76 times, established a framework for evaluating intraoperative precision, while his 2017 work on the Renaissance robot system, with 35 citations, identified key factors affecting screw placement accuracy. More recently, Lin has focused on reducing screw loosening and preventing compression fractures in osteoporosis patients undergoing minimally invasive spinal fusion, publishing impactful studies in 2022. His research, which emphasizes teamwork and surgical learning curves, has directly shaped how robotic systems are integrated into spinal surgery, enhancing both patient safety and surgical precision.
