About

Andrew A. Hardigan is a neurosurgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the frontiers of minimally invasive spine surgery, particularly the application of robotic assistance and endovascular techniques. His major contributions center on improving the safety and efficacy of complex spinopelvic procedures. Notably, his 2023 case series on robotic-assisted spinopelvic fixation for traumatic sacral fractures (10 citations) provided early evidence that this approach is both safe and effective for managing severe pelvic trauma, a traditionally high-risk surgery. Hardigan has also advanced the field's understanding of rare but serious complications, as demonstrated by his 2024 illustrative case detailing the successful coil embolization of a ruptured superior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm following an awake robot-assisted sacroiliac joint fusion. This work highlights his commitment to documenting and managing procedural risks, offering critical guidance for surgeons adopting these technologies. By combining clinical innovation with rigorous complication reporting, Hardigan is helping to define best practices for robotic spine surgery, making him a key voice in the ongoing evolution of minimally invasive spinal care.
