About

Fabrizio Russo is a leading figure in the evolution of spinal surgery, whose work is at the forefront of integrating robotics and augmented reality into the operating room. His primary research focuses on the precision and safety of instrumented spine procedures, particularly through the application of robotic navigation and advanced imaging systems. Russo’s major contributions include a comprehensive state-of-the-art review on robotic spine surgery and augmented reality, which has garnered 85 citations and serves as a foundational text in the field. He has also conducted a systematic review on pedicle screw accuracy in navigated and robotic spinal fusion, highlighting the critical deviation from preoperative planning and its implications for patient outcomes. As an editor for a special issue on new perspectives in contemporary spine surgery, Russo has helped shape the discourse on innovative techniques. His work demonstrates a clear impact, with his most cited paper influencing both clinical practice and further research. Notably, he has detailed the robot-navigated minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) workflow, showcasing how these technologies reduce operative time and radiation exposure while improving recovery. Russo’s research is essential reading for surgeons and engineers aiming to enhance the safety and efficacy of spinal interventions.
