About
Joshua Caskey is a rising figure in the field of spinal surgery, with a focused research interest in the integration of robotic technology to enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes. His work critically examines the comparative effectiveness of robot-assisted (RA) versus traditional fluoroscopy-assisted (FA) techniques in minimally invasive spine surgery. In his most cited study, a 2024 comparative cohort analysis, Caskey evaluated key operative metrics—including irradiation safety, anesthesia time, and surgical complications—alongside patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for the robotic Mazor X system versus fluoroscopy-guided procedures during minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF). This work, which has already garnered 6 citations, provides valuable evidence supporting the adoption of robotic assistance to potentially reduce radiation exposure and improve procedural consistency. By systematically assessing both clinical and patient-centered endpoints, Caskey contributes to the growing body of literature that seeks to validate and refine robotic applications in spine surgery. His research is particularly relevant for surgeons and trainees navigating the transition toward more technologically advanced, safer, and outcome-driven surgical practices.
