About
Jonathan Harris is a leading researcher in the field of spinal surgery, with a primary focus on advancing robotic-assisted navigation (RAN) technologies for pedicle screw fixation. His work centers on improving surgical accuracy, reducing radiation exposure, and optimizing procedural efficiency in complex spinal procedures. Harris’s most impactful contribution is his 2019 cadaveric study, which systematically compared a novel RAN platform against conventional open and percutaneous freehand techniques, demonstrating superior pedicle screw accuracy and reduced clinician radiation exposure—a study that has garnered 56 citations and is considered a benchmark in the field. He further explored the critical issue of lumbar percutaneous pedicle screw breach rates (2020), providing essential data on complication prevention. His 2017 in vitro analysis reinforced the advantages of robotic assistance over conventional methods, while his most recent 2023 work introduced a dual-screw technique for vertebral compression fractures in osteopenic bone, leveraging robotic navigation to achieve four anchor points within a single pedicle. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 80, Harris’s research is instrumental in shaping evidence-based guidelines for minimally invasive spinal surgery, directly impacting patient safety and surgical outcomes.
