About

Dr. Greg S. Weinstein is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive spinal surgery, with a particular focus on complex craniocervical junction disorders. He is best known for his groundbreaking contributions to robotic-assisted spine surgery, most notably demonstrated in his highly influential 2010 paper, "Da Vinci Robot-Assisted Transoral Odontoidectomy for Basilar Invagination," which has garnered 68 citations. This seminal work addressed the significant technical challenges and limitations of the traditional transoral approach for decompressing the craniocervical junction, establishing a safer, more precise robotic alternative for treating basilar invagination. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Weinstein has been a leading voice in refining surgical techniques for intradural pathology and other complex spinal conditions, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is achievable through minimally invasive corridors. His research has not only improved surgical outcomes but has also shaped the standard of care for patients with debilitating craniocervical abnormalities, making him a highly respected authority in the field.
