About
Frank P. Cammisa is a pioneering spine surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced surgical technology and minimally invasive spine care. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted navigation, augmented reality (AR) in surgery, and computer-assisted navigation (CAN) systems—particularly for the cervical spine. Cammisa’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and accuracy of robotic and AR-guided pedicle screw placement, a critical advancement for complex spinal procedures. His 2021 paper, “Cervical Spine Navigation and Enabled Robotics,” with 22 citations, established a new frontier by applying these technologies to the uniquely challenging anatomy of the cervical spine, where precision is paramount. In his 2024 study comparing AR to robotic-assisted surgery, he provided the first prospective clinical data showing comparable accuracy for lumbosacral pedicle screws, directly informing surgical decision-making. With a growing citation impact, Cammisa’s work is shaping the next generation of spine surgery—bridging engineering and clinical practice to enhance patient safety and outcomes. His research is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of image-guided and robotic spine surgery.
