About

Dr. Junho Song is a leading spine surgeon and researcher whose work is revolutionizing minimally invasive spinal surgery through the integration of advanced robotics. His primary research focus is on the clinical efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted and navigation-guided techniques for lumbar fusion, with a particular emphasis on reducing occupational hazards for surgeons. Dr. Song’s major contributions include landmark studies demonstrating that robotic guidance significantly reduces radiation exposure for both patients and surgical teams compared to traditional navigation during minimally invasive lumbar fusion—a finding with profound implications for surgeon safety, as evidenced by his most cited work (55 citations). He has also provided critical data on the accuracy and reliability of floor-mounted robotic systems, analyzing over 1,050 pedicle screws to validate their precision and low complication rates (23 citations). Furthermore, Dr. Song is pioneering innovative surgical workflows, such as the robotic-assisted single-position prone lateral lumbar interbody fusion, which eliminates the need for patient repositioning and reduces operative time. Through these high-impact studies, Dr. Song is not only advancing patient outcomes but also shaping the future of ergonomic and efficient spine surgery.
