About

Hussam Abou‐Al‐Shaar is a pioneering neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the integration of robotics into neurosurgery, with a particular focus on spine surgery, pediatric brainstem lesions, and epilepsy surgery. His major contributions include advancing the historical understanding of robotic spine surgery, demonstrating the efficacy and safety of frameless robotic-assisted biopsy for pediatric brainstem lesions through a systematic review and meta-analysis, and developing a training curriculum for robotic-assisted neurosurgery. Abou‐Al‐Shaar has also shown the utility of robotic stereotactic assistance (ROSA) in intraparenchymal hematoma evacuation and intraventricular catheter placement, as well as in stereotactic drainage of cerebral abscesses. With over 70 citations across his most-cited works, his research has significantly impacted the field by providing evidence for the safety and precision of robotic systems in complex neurosurgical procedures. Notably, his work on the evolution of robotics in spine surgery and his development of training protocols highlight his commitment to both historical context and future innovation, making him a key figure in the ongoing integration of robotics into neurosurgical practice.
