About

Ashok Para is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of surgical technology and spinal care, particularly the adoption and outcomes of navigation and robotic assistance in elective spine surgeries. His most-cited study, "Trends in usage of navigation and robotic assistance in elective spine surgeries: a study of 105,212 cases from 2007 to 2015," provides a comprehensive analysis of a large national database, revealing significant shifts in surgical practice over nearly a decade. By examining over 105,000 cases, Para’s work highlights the increasing integration of advanced technologies into routine spinal procedures, offering critical insights into their safety, efficiency, and evolving utilization patterns. This contribution has been cited five times, reflecting its value to surgeons, policymakers, and medical device developers seeking evidence-based guidance on technology adoption. Para’s research underscores a commitment to data-driven improvements in surgical precision and patient outcomes, making him a notable voice in the ongoing dialogue about the future of minimally invasive and robot-assisted spine surgery.
