About
Morgan Brown is a leading researcher in minimally invasive spine surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted lumbar fusion techniques. Their work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes by comparing traditional open procedures with innovative, muscle-sparing approaches. Brown’s major contributions include pioneering the midline lumbar interbody fusion (MIDLIF) technique and rigorously evaluating its robotic-assisted variant. In their landmark 2020 study, they performed a propensity-matched comparison of open TLIF, MIDLIF, and robot-assisted MIDLIF, demonstrating that robotic assistance can reduce muscle dissection and expedite recovery. This work, cited 21 times, is complemented by a 2021 analysis of 90-day complications, which showed that robotic-assisted lumbar fusion is associated with fewer adverse events than non-robotic methods (15 citations). Brown has also advanced the safety of robotic surgery by identifying risk factors for screw malposition, such as skive and shift during cortical bone trajectory insertion. Their 2023 and 2024 studies on this topic, with 5 and 3 citations respectively, provide critical guidance for surgeons to minimize intraoperative breaches. Brown’s research is shaping the future of spine surgery, making it safer and more effective for patients.
