About

Dr. Arbaz Momin is a pioneering surgeon whose work spans the frontiers of minimally invasive spine surgery, robotic neurosurgery, and cardiac surgical techniques. His most cited work, "Evolution of Minimally Invasive Lumbar Spine Surgery" (2020), with 175 citations, provides a definitive overview of the field’s progression, establishing him as a key voice in spinal innovation. Dr. Momin’s research is distinguished by its focus on procedural safety and optimization. In cardiac surgery, his studies on robotic mitral valve repair critically examine myocardial temperature and venous drainage, revealing how robotic approaches can impact cardioprotection—work that has prompted important clinical discussions in the field. More recently, his 2024 investigation into learning curves for robotic stereotactic surgery offers vital guidance for neurosurgeons adopting technologies for stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) and deep brain stimulation (DBS). By quantifying the path to proficiency, Dr. Momin is helping to shape training standards for next-generation surgical robotics. His diverse portfolio, from spine to heart to brain, reflects a rare breadth of expertise and a consistent commitment to advancing surgical precision and patient outcomes.
