About

Motasem Salameh is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive spinal surgery, with a primary focus on the integration of laser-guided navigation and hybrid operating room technologies. His landmark 2017 study, "Feasibility of laser-guided percutaneous pedicle screw placement in the lumbar spine using a hybrid-OR," has garnered 11 citations and established a foundational framework for enhancing precision and safety in spinal instrumentation. Salameh’s work directly addresses the critical challenge of reducing radiation exposure and improving screw placement accuracy, demonstrating that laser-guided systems can be seamlessly incorporated into existing surgical workflows. This contribution has practical implications for reducing operative times and complication rates, positioning him as a key innovator in the field. Beyond this seminal paper, his research continues to explore the convergence of robotics, imaging, and navigation to push the boundaries of what is achievable in spine surgery. For students and researchers, Salameh’s work exemplifies how translational research can bridge engineering and clinical practice, offering a clear roadmap for future innovations in patient-specific surgical guidance.
