About
Ronald Sahyouni is a rising figure in the field of spinal neurosurgery, with a focused research agenda on the safety, efficacy, and technological evolution of robotic-assisted spinal fixation. His work critically examines the integration of advanced robotics into the operating room, addressing both the promise and the pitfalls of these emerging systems. His most cited paper, a systematic review and meta-analysis on bony fixation in the era of spinal robotics (2022, 11 citations), synthesizes the evidence on surgical outcomes, providing a foundational resource for surgeons adopting robotic platforms. Building on this, Sahyouni has conducted a novel analysis of the FDA’s MAUDE database (2025), characterizing the complication profiles of specific spinal robotic systems by manufacturer and brand name. This work offers a granular, real-world look at device failures and associated complications, moving beyond aggregate data to inform device selection and surgical decision-making. By bridging clinical outcomes with post-market surveillance, Sahyouni’s research is shaping a more nuanced understanding of how to safely implement and improve robotic technologies in spine surgery.
