About

Dr. Paul L. Asdourian is a pioneering spine surgeon whose research focuses on advancing the precision and safety of complex spinal surgery through robotic and intraoperative imaging technologies. His major contributions center on demonstrating the clinical utility of robotic instrumentation in posterior spinal fusion, particularly for high-complexity cases. In his landmark 2023 study of 100 complex posterior spinal fusion cases performed with robotic instrumentation (9 citations), Dr. Asdourian established the feasibility and accuracy of robotic assistance in challenging spinal deformities. His 2024 work (3 citations) provided a critical comparative analysis, showing that integrating intraoperative 3D CT imaging (E3D) with robotic navigation significantly improves screw placement accuracy and reduces complications compared to robotic guidance with conventional fluoroscopy alone. By analyzing 80 consecutive complex robotic cases against matched controls, he demonstrated that 3D imaging enhances real-time surgical decision-making. Dr. Asdourian’s research is highly impactful for spine surgeons seeking to adopt advanced technologies, offering evidence-based protocols that improve patient outcomes in deformity and revision surgery. His work continues to shape the evolution of minimally invasive, robot-assisted spinal care.
