About
Anthony Stefanelli is a spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of advanced surgical robotics and complex spinal pathology. His primary research areas include robot-assisted spine surgery, minimally invasive techniques, and the management of traumatic spinal injuries. Stefanelli’s major contributions are exemplified by his detailed operative video documenting the first robot-assisted instrumented fusion for a T8-9 extension distraction fracture with concurrent epidural hematoma evacuation—a technically demanding procedure that showcases the expanding role of robotics in trauma and deformity surgery. This work, published in 2020, has garnered early citations from peers seeking to replicate and build upon these techniques. Beyond this landmark case, Stefanelli has advanced the field by demonstrating how robotic guidance can minimize tissue dissection and reduce fluoroscopy use in both degenerative and deformity cases. His research is particularly notable for bridging the gap between emerging technology and practical surgical application, offering reproducible methods for improving patient outcomes in high-stakes spinal procedures.
