About
Rita Roy is a prominent spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical precision and patient safety through robotic guidance and navigation technologies. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the clinical efficacy of robotic-assisted techniques in complex spinal procedures. Her most-cited paper, "Robotic-guidance allows for accurate S2AI screw placement without complications" (2021, 12 citations), established that robotic navigation can achieve high accuracy in sacropelvic fixation while eliminating screw-related complications—a critical advancement for challenging deformity and revision cases. More recently, her interim analysis from the PRoGRSS study (2025, 3 citations) provides early evidence that pairing robotic guidance with 3D navigation may further reduce complication and revision rates in thoracolumbar surgery. Roy’s work is notable for its rigorous prospective methodology and focus on real-world outcomes, directly addressing the need for data to support the adoption of these emerging technologies. Her research is shaping best practices in minimally invasive and navigated spine surgery, offering surgeons and patients alike the promise of safer, more reproducible procedures.
