About

Dr. Alexander Ghasem is a leading voice in the rapidly evolving field of spine surgery, with a focused expertise in the integration of robotics and advanced technology to improve surgical outcomes. His most influential work, the 2018 systematic review "The Arrival of Robotics in Spine Surgery," has garnered over 200 citations, establishing a foundational benchmark for the field. In this seminal paper, Dr. Ghasem critically compared robotic-assisted procedures against traditional free-hand techniques, analyzing key metrics such as the accuracy of spinal instrumentation, radiation exposure, operative time, hospital stay, and complication rates. This comprehensive analysis not only quantified the early benefits of robotic assistance but also identified critical areas for future innovation. By synthesizing a complex body of evidence, Dr. Ghasem provided the surgical community with a clear, evidence-based roadmap for adopting new technologies. His work continues to shape how surgeons and researchers evaluate the safety and efficacy of robotics, making him a pivotal figure in the transition toward more precise, minimally invasive spine care.
