About
Anand Veeravagu is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of spinal surgery, robotics, and artificial intelligence. His primary research focuses on the clinical adoption and technical evolution of robotic-assisted spine surgery, where he has been instrumental in evaluating its efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and future potential. His landmark paper, “Robotic-Assisted Spine Surgery: History, Efficacy, Cost, And Future Trends” (2019, 246 citations), remains a foundational reference in the field, offering a comprehensive analysis of the first FDA-approved spinal robot, SpineAssist. Veeravagu has also driven global surveys to understand how robotic technology is being integrated into neurosurgical practice, and he has explored the role of machine learning in neurosurgery, from predictive modeling to intraoperative decision-making. His work on complex spinal reconstruction—such as the reverse Bohlman procedure with robotic guidance—demonstrates his commitment to advancing surgical precision in challenging cases. Through his contributions, Veeravagu is shaping the future of minimally invasive, data-driven spinal care, making him a key voice in the modernization of neurosurgery.
