About
Todd Goldstein is a neurosurgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic technology, stereotactic neurosurgery, and surgical innovation. His research has focused primarily on advancing the clinical application of the Robotic Surgical Assistant (ROSA™), a frameless stereotactic robotic platform approved by the FDA in 2012, with particular emphasis on improving its adoption, safety, and versatility in neurosurgical settings. Among his most notable contributions is the development of a rehearsal methodology that combines 3D printing technology with preoperative stereotactic planning, enabling surgical teams to practice complex robotic procedures before entering the operating room. This innovation has meaningful implications for training, reducing procedural errors, and accelerating the learning curve associated with sophisticated robotic equipment. His work on stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode placement further demonstrates the precision-driven applications of the ROSA platform in epilepsy surgery. Perhaps most ambitiously, Goldstein has expanded the ROSA robot's capabilities beyond electrode placement by engineering a novel adapter that enables lesion resection — a previously unexplored application. Collectively, his publications, which have garnered citations across the neurosurgical community, reflect a commitment to translating emerging technology into tangible improvements in patient care and surgical education.
