About

Dr. Amer Haj is a leading figure in the field of spinal neurosurgery and image-guided surgical robotics, whose work has significantly advanced the safety and precision of minimally invasive spine procedures. His primary research focuses on the clinical translation of robotic-assisted technologies for pedicle screw placement, with a particular emphasis on improving accuracy and reducing complication rates in complex spinal instrumentation. Dr. Haj’s landmark study, "Evaluation of robot-guided minimally invasive implantation of 2067 pedicle screws" (2017, 142 citations), represents one of the largest bi-institutional assessments of the Renaissance robotic system, demonstrating a substantial elevation in screw placement accuracy and overall outcome measures. This seminal work has become a cornerstone reference for surgeons adopting robotic guidance, directly influencing clinical protocols and training standards. By systematically validating the role of spinal image guidance, Dr. Haj has helped bridge the gap between engineering innovation and everyday surgical practice, establishing a new benchmark for precision in spinal care. His contributions continue to shape the evolution of robotic neurosurgery, making him a respected authority in the field.
