About
Ahilan Sivaganesan is a leading researcher in the application of advanced technologies to spine surgery, with a primary focus on robotics, navigation, and artificial intelligence. His work has been instrumental in evaluating the clinical and economic impact of robotic-assisted spine procedures, particularly in pedicle screw placement and minimally invasive techniques. He has authored highly cited reviews on the evolution of robotic technology in spine surgery (53 citations) and conducted rigorous cost analyses—including a time-driven activity-based costing study that quantified the marginal intraoperative costs of robotic versus traditional methods (31 citations). Sivaganesan has also explored barriers and opportunities for outpatient lumbar fusion, the integration of AI and imaging for total joint replacement of the lumbar spine, and even extended his analysis to robotic carotid artery stenting. His contributions provide essential evidence for surgeons and hospitals weighing the adoption of these technologies. With multiple publications in top spine journals and a growing citation impact, Sivaganesan is a key voice in the ongoing transformation of spine surgery through innovation.
