About

Owoicho Adogwa is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing the safety and precision of spinal surgery. His major contributions lie in the comparative effectiveness of surgical techniques, particularly in the realm of spinal instrumentation. Adogwa is best known for his landmark systematic review and meta-analysis, "Robotic and navigated pedicle screws are safer and more accurate than fluoroscopic freehand screws" (2022, 117 citations), which provided compelling evidence that robotic and navigated systems significantly reduce screw malposition rates and improve patient outcomes over traditional freehand methods. This work has helped drive the adoption of advanced technology in operating rooms worldwide. Beyond this, his research portfolio spans outcomes after complex spinal deformity correction, minimally invasive surgery, and the socioeconomic factors influencing recovery. With a citation count reflecting his influence, Adogwa’s studies are frequently referenced in clinical guidelines and surgical training. He is also recognized for his commitment to mentorship and evidence-based practice, making him a pivotal figure in modern spine surgery.
