About

Amanda N. Sacino is a neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the application of robotic-assisted surgery to complex spinal disorders, with a particular focus on the cervical spine and spinal oncology. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility, precision, and safety of robotic systems for challenging procedures, such as atlantoaxial fixation in the high cervical spine—a region fraught with risk due to nearby vital structures. In a 2022 illustrative case series, she showed how robotics can enhance screw placement accuracy in this delicate area, addressing a critical need in spine surgery. Her 2024 case series on robotic-assisted surgery for spinal metastases (16 citations) extends this impact, offering a minimally invasive approach to treating tumors that have spread to the spine, potentially reducing morbidity. With a growing citation footprint, Sacino’s work is shaping the adoption of robotics in neurosurgery, bridging the gap between innovation and clinical application. Her achievements underscore a commitment to advancing surgical precision, making her a notable figure in the evolution of spine surgery.
