About

Jihad Abdelgadir is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical robotics and minimally invasive neurosurgery. His primary research focuses on developing novel robotic systems for endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA), with a particular emphasis on enhancing surgical dexterity and safety in confined anatomical spaces. Abdelgadir’s most notable contribution is the design and validation of the Tendon-Actuated Concentric Tube Endonasal Robot (TACTER), a groundbreaking platform that addresses critical limitations of rigid scopes and tools in skull base and sinus surgeries. By enabling greater maneuverability within tight anatomical corridors, TACTER helps surgeons avoid vital structures such as the internal carotid artery, potentially reducing complication rates. Although his work is still emerging, with his landmark 2025 paper already garnering citations, Abdelgadir’s innovations represent a significant step toward safer, more precise robotic-assisted endonasal procedures. His research holds promise for transforming how surgeons approach complex cranial base pathologies, making him a rising figure in surgical robotics and neuroendoscopy.
