About

Rida Mitha is a neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of advanced surgical technology and complex spinal oncology. Her key research areas include minimally invasive spine surgery, augmented reality (AR) preplanning, and robotic-assisted thoracoscopic techniques for treating challenging spinal tumors. Mitha’s major contribution is demonstrating the feasibility and safety of a multidisciplinary, multi-modality approach—combining AR-based 3D modeling with robotic-assisted thoracoscopic mobilization—for resecting giant thoracic schwannomas that threaten critical neurovasculature. Her 2024 paper on this topic, though recently published, has already garnered 3 citations, signaling its impact on surgical planning and technique. This work highlights her role in pushing the boundaries of precision surgery, reducing morbidity, and improving outcomes for patients with complex spinal pathologies. Mitha’s integration of cutting-edge visualization and robotics positions her as an emerging leader in the field, offering a blueprint for safer, more effective management of high-risk spinal tumors.
