About

Kaissar Farah is a pioneering spine surgeon whose research focuses on the frontiers of robotic-assisted minimally invasive spine surgery. His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and expanding applications of robotic systems—particularly the Cirq® and Da Vinci platforms—for complex spinal procedures. Farah has been instrumental in advancing techniques for upper cervical spine instrumentation, including percutaneous C1-C2 fixation and cervical pedicle screw placement, traditionally among the most challenging and high-risk operations. His work on Da Vinci robotic assistance for anterolateral lumbar arthrodesis, including a French multicentric study, showcases his role in translating robotic technology from urology and general surgery into spine care. With over 100 citations across his most influential papers, Farah’s research has a growing impact on the field. Notably, his scoping review on the Da Vinci robot highlights both its promise and current limitations, providing a critical roadmap for future innovation. Through case reports, literature reviews, and multicenter studies, Farah is shaping a new standard for safer, less invasive spinal surgery.
