About

Dr. Arsany Yassa is a pioneering spine surgeon whose research focuses on advancing surgical precision in adult spinal deformity (ASD) correction. His most-cited work, a 2025 comparative analysis of robotic-assisted versus free-hand techniques in ASD surgery, has already garnered 4 citations, demonstrating its immediate impact on the field. Dr. Yassa’s major contribution lies in rigorously evaluating whether robotic systems truly deliver on their promises of enhanced pedicle screw accuracy, improved spinal alignment, and reduced postoperative complications compared to traditional free-hand methods. By addressing the inherent challenges of ASD—a condition notorious for its complexity and high complication rates—he provides evidence-based guidance that helps surgeons choose the optimal approach for their patients. His findings are critical for refining surgical protocols and improving outcomes in this demanding subspecialty. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Yassa’s work continues to shape the integration of technology in spine surgery, positioning him as a key voice in the ongoing debate over the value of robotic assistance. For students and researchers, his research offers a clear window into how comparative effectiveness studies can drive innovation and patient safety in modern orthopedics.
