About

Dr. Peter Hahn is a leading spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the application of advanced robotic guidance in complex spinal deformity correction. His most impactful contribution is the pioneering development and validation of robotic-assisted techniques for S2-alar-iliac (S2AI) screw placement, a critical procedure for achieving stable pelvic fixation in long spinal constructs. His landmark 2013 study, cited 74 times, was the first to systematically evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of this robotic approach, demonstrating superior precision and reduced complication rates compared to traditional freehand methods. This work has fundamentally changed surgical practice, enabling safer and more reliable fixation in severe scoliosis and other deformities. Dr. Hahn’s research has established a new standard for minimally invasive, high-accuracy pelvic instrumentation, directly improving patient outcomes and reducing revision surgeries. His innovative integration of robotics into sacropelvic fixation has made him a sought-after expert and a key figure in the evolution of computer-assisted spine surgery.
