About

Sergio De Salvatore is a leading researcher at the intersection of orthopedic surgery and cutting-edge digital technology, with a primary focus on robotic spine surgery and augmented reality (AR) systems. His most cited work, the 2020 state-of-the-art review on robotic spine surgery and AR, has garnered 85 citations and serves as a foundational reference for surgeons adopting these precision-enhancing tools. De Salvatore’s major contributions lie in systematically evaluating how robotic guidance and AR visualization improve surgical accuracy, reduce neurovascular risks, and minimize radiation exposure for both patients and operating room staff. By synthesizing decades of instrumented spine procedure data, he has helped define best practices for integrating these technologies into clinical workflows. His work is particularly impactful for young surgeons and biomedical engineers seeking evidence-based pathways to safer, more efficient spinal interventions. Beyond this landmark review, De Salvatore continues to advance the field through collaborative studies on intraoperative navigation and patient outcomes, positioning him as a key voice in the ongoing digital transformation of spine surgery.
