About

Samuel Brehm is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neurosurgery and cutting-edge digital technology, with a primary focus on augmented reality (AR) and robotic assistance in spinal trauma management. His most cited work, "Utilization of Augmented Reality Head-Mounted Display for the Surgical Management of Thoracolumbar Spinal Trauma" (2024, 13 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field. In this case series, Brehm and his team demonstrated how AR head-mounted displays (AR-HMDs) can provide surgeons with real-time, CT-guided 3D reconstructions of spinal anatomy, enhancing precision and safety during complex thoracolumbar procedures. By integrating AR-HMD with traditional robotic systems, his work bridges the gap between advanced visualization and automated surgical assistance, offering a novel paradigm for minimally invasive spine surgery. Though early in his career, Brehm’s research has already garnered attention for its translational potential, directly addressing challenges in intraoperative navigation and reducing reliance on fluoroscopy. His achievements highlight a commitment to improving surgical outcomes through immersive technology, positioning him as an emerging leader in digital spine surgery.
