About
Dr. Faheem A. Sandhu is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose research focuses on the cutting-edge intersection of robotics, augmented reality, and computer navigation in spinal surgery. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the transformative potential of these technologies to enhance surgical precision and improve patient outcomes. In a landmark 2020 study, he evaluated the accuracy of the first 100 robot-assisted pedicle screws, comparing them favorably against traditional fluoroscopy-guided placement (42 citations). He has since led the largest systematic review and meta-analysis on technology-enhanced spinal instrumentation, synthesizing a decade of data to confirm superior screw accuracy and reduced complication rates (40 citations). Dr. Sandhu has also advanced the field by comparing robotic screw placement in lateral versus prone positions, supporting the growing trend of single-position lateral lumbar interbody fusion (22 citations), and exploring the use of robotics in complex adult spinal deformity and revision sacroiliac joint fusion. With over 112 citations across his most influential works, Dr. Sandhu is a leading voice in the evidence-based adoption of robotics, helping to define the future of safer, more precise spine surgery.
