About

Dr. Giada Garufi is a pioneering spine surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of advanced robotics and palliative oncology. Her primary research focuses on enhancing the precision and safety of complex spinal procedures, particularly for vulnerable patient populations. Dr. Garufi’s major contributions include demonstrating the superior accuracy of robot-assisted versus navigated spinal fusion in a landmark multicenter study, which has already garnered 8 citations since its 2025 publication. She has also pioneered the application of robotic assistance for radiofrequency ablation of multiple spinal metastases, offering a minimally invasive palliative solution for medically fragile patients. Her technical insights into combining robotic guidance with vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty represent a significant advance in palliative care, improving outcomes for those with polymetastatic disease. With a growing body of work that bridges cutting-edge technology and compassionate care, Dr. Garufi is establishing herself as a leader in robotic spine surgery and a dedicated advocate for improving quality of life in the most challenging clinical scenarios.
