As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Ghost, we step back over 2 decades to where it all started. Finding a Ghost in Antelope Canyon. The feeling... It's hard to explain. You enter the depths of this canyon and the echoes of another time whisper to you.
AI will make us better, safer spine surgeons.
This is the first of 6 projects we are conducting, showing the power of using AI interpretation of intraoperative neuromonitoring as a decision support tool.
Please take a look at this first paper. And excited to introduce our new AI Spine Program Manager, Michael Bouvette (“borrowed” from Amazon’s AI Division), who will be driving these proof-of-concept results to real-time decision support in our operating rooms.
The future is here.

Don’t miss this abnormality on x-ray.
On an AP spine radiograph, each vertebra should appear symmetric. The vertebral body is centered, the spinous process lies in the midline, and the pedicles project laterally on either side as two round, evenly spaced densities. This normal appearance is often compared to an owl’s face: the pedicles are the eyes, and the spinous process forms the beak.
The “winking owl” sign occurs when one pedicle is no longer visible. Instead of two symmetric “eyes,” one appears absent, creating the appearance of a wink. This is not a normal variant. It reflects underlying pathology, most commonly a lesion involving the vertebral body that extends into and disrupts the pedicle.
This 7-year-old had a resection of a large Aneurysmal Bone Cyst compressing his spinal cord Wednesday by my interdisciplinary team including Drs Oh (Neurosurgery), Tyler (Orthopedic Oncology) and Imahiyerobo (Plastic Surgery) and is doing great!
I am fortunate to work with such talented surgeons helping to take care of complex spine problems.
A subtle asymmetry on x-ray, but one that warrants a closer look.

Today is an incredibly meaningful day for me.
The Daily Surgeon is officially out in the world.
This book has been years in the making, built in the quiet moments most people never see. Early mornings. Late nights. Between cases. Between innings. Between responsibilities.
It’s a collection of 365 lessons shaped by the operating room, by sport, and by the pursuit of doing something at a high level, consistently, over time.
Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to learn from incredible mentors, colleagues, athletes, and patients. Their influence is woven into every page.
I didn’t write this just for surgeons.
I wrote it for anyone committed to improving their craft…
for those who show up every day…
for those who understand that mastery isn’t a single achievement, it’s a daily process.
If even one lesson in this book helps someone take a step forward, then it was all worth it.
I’m incredibly proud to share this with you.

Another season. Another opportunity.
Let’s get to work.
