About
Areesak Chotivichit is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of orthopedic surgery and robotic technology, with a primary focus on advancing spinal surgical techniques. His most impactful work centers on enhancing the safety and precision of pedicle screw insertion—a critical procedure for treating degenerative diseases, trauma, and spinal tumors. In his landmark 2024 study, Chotivichit introduced a novel sensorless haptic feedback system integrated into robot-assisted lumbar spine surgery, demonstrating in a preliminary cadaveric study how this technology can improve tactile perception and reduce reliance on direct visualization. This contribution, which has already garnered 15 citations, addresses one of the field’s most persistent challenges: limited anatomical visibility during complex spinal procedures. By enabling surgeons to “feel” bone resistance through robotic instruments without external sensors, his work promises to reduce screw misplacement rates and improve patient outcomes. Chotivichit’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering a tangible step toward safer, more accessible robotic spine surgery. His achievements mark him as a rising leader in surgical robotics, with implications for training, intraoperative decision-making, and the future of minimally invasive orthopedics.
