About

Daniel W. Griepp is a rising neurosurgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes. His primary research areas include advanced surgical visualization, robotic-assisted spine surgery, and minimally invasive techniques. Griepp made a significant contribution with his highly cited 2021 paper on the role of 3D exoscope systems in neurosurgery, which has garnered 74 citations and is considered a key reference in the field. This work critically examines how exoscope technology addresses the limitations of traditional operating microscopes, particularly in terms of ergonomics and surgical accessibility. More recently, Griepp has focused on comparative effectiveness research, authoring a 2024 study evaluating the robotic Mazor X system against fluoroscopy-guided techniques for minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. This work, which analyzes irradiation safety, anesthesia time, and patient-reported outcomes, reflects his commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation. Through these contributions, Griepp is helping to define the next generation of neurosurgical practice, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and measurable improvements in patient care.
