About
Dr. Zhihai Su is a leading figure in the field of minimally invasive spinal surgery, with a primary focus on percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) and advanced medical imaging. His major contribution lies in pioneering the integration of automated MR image segmentation with three-dimensional lumbar modeling to enhance surgical precision. In his landmark 2025 cross-sectional study, Dr. Su developed a novel method to create detailed 3D lumbar models that include critical neural structures—such as lumbar nerves and the dural sac—which were previously omitted in standard reconstructions. This innovation allows for the quantification and personalization of puncture trajectories, significantly improving the safety and accuracy of PELD procedures. His work addresses a fundamental challenge in establishing the working channel for endoscopic surgery, directly translating to better patient outcomes. With his research already garnering citations, Dr. Su’s contributions are shaping the future of image-guided, patient-specific spinal interventions, establishing him as a key innovator at the intersection of computational anatomy and surgical technique.
