About
Sara Condino is a biomedical engineer whose research sits at the intersection of surgical robotics, patient-specific modeling, and augmented reality. Her work focuses on developing advanced tools and simulations to improve the precision and safety of minimally invasive surgeries, particularly in spine, vascular, and cardiothoracic procedures. Her most cited paper, "An optimal design for patient‐specific templates for pedicle spine screws placement" (31 citations), addresses the high error rates in free-hand screw placement by introducing customized templates derived from CT data. She has also made significant contributions to surgical simulation, including a stomach simulator for endoluminal robots (22 citations) and a patient-specific virtual and physical platform for evaluating surgical robot movability in cardiothoracic surgery. More recently, Condino has explored robotic-based in situ bioprinting for tissue regeneration (23 citations) and co-authored a comprehensive review on bioengineering and augmented reality in vascular surgery (21 citations). Her work on the ValveTech robotic system for minimally invasive aortic valve replacement and low-cost stitching methods for three-eyed endoscopes further demonstrates her commitment to translating engineering innovations into clinical practice. With over 120 total citations, Condino’s research continues to shape the future of surgical robotics and personalized medicine.
