Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
David B. Bumpass's research focuses on spinal surgery and related complications. He has published on various aspects of spinal deformity procedures, including major complications and comparisons between osteotomy techniques. His work also addresses the management of specific spinal conditions like giant cell tumors and spinal metastases, as well as complications arising from spinal surgery, such as esophageal perforation following anterior cervical spine surgery.
Bumpass's research interests extend to other medical areas, including the accumulation and function of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in cancer and the perioperative complications associated with spinal metastases surgery. He has also investigated the value of total joint replacement and pulmonary cement embolization after vertebroplasty. His publications include studies on disc herniations in professional sports leagues and retrospective analyses of treatment outcomes. Bumpass leads a research group and has a publication record of 100 papers, with an h-index of 21 and over 1,600 citations.
