About

Abhishek Soni is an emerging spine surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the cutting edge of robotic-assisted spinal surgery. His research focuses primarily on the accuracy, safety, and technical refinement of robotic systems for pedicle screw placement across the full spinal axis — from the cervical spine to the sacropelvic region. Among his most significant contributions is a large-scale prospective analysis of 750 cases encompassing 3,924 screws, offering rare real-world data on both pin-mounted and innovative pinless robotic techniques, work particularly notable for its Indian clinical context. Soni has systematically addressed critical questions in the field: how quickly surgeons can master robotic platforms, why errors still occur despite automation, and how robotic guidance compares to traditional fluoroscopic methods. His prospective comparative studies demonstrate robotic superiority over freehand and fluoroscopy-guided techniques in screw accuracy and procedural efficiency. He has also pioneered robotic workflows for technically demanding procedures including cervical pedicle screw fixation and S2 alar-iliac spinopelvic fusion. With over 40 cumulative citations across publications released largely within a single year, Soni represents a productive and rapidly growing voice shaping the evidence base for next-generation robotic spine surgery.
