About
Sara Naessig is a rising researcher in the field of spine surgery, with a focused interest in the adoption and safety of advanced surgical technologies. Her work critically examines the integration of navigation and robotic assistance into elective spine procedures, providing valuable insights into their real-world usage and potential risks. Her most-cited study, "Trends in usage of navigation and robotic assistance in elective spine surgeries: a study of 105,212 cases from 2007 to 2015" (2023, 5 citations), offers a large-scale analysis of how these technologies have evolved over nearly a decade, highlighting significant shifts in surgical practice. Additionally, her paper "Do no harm: a retrospective analysis of the initial risk of complications in robotic spine surgery" (2021, 2 citations) underscores a patient-centered approach, examining whether early adoption of robotics introduces unforeseen risks. Together, these contributions demonstrate Naessig’s commitment to evidence-based improvements in surgical outcomes, making her a thoughtful voice in the ongoing dialogue about technology’s role in modern orthopedics. Her work is particularly relevant for students and clinicians seeking to understand the balance between innovation and patient safety in spine care.
