About

Dr. Sara Saleh is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive spine surgery, with a particular focus on sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction and robotic-assisted techniques. Her major contribution lies in advancing the surgical management of SI joint pain—a condition often misdiagnosed as lumbar radiculopathy—by demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted minimally invasive fusion. Her 2022 two-dimensional operative video on this procedure, though early in its citation history with 4 citations, serves as an essential educational resource for surgeons adopting these precise, less invasive approaches. Dr. Saleh’s research addresses a critical diagnostic and therapeutic gap, offering patients who have failed conservative care a targeted, durable solution. By integrating robotic technology into spine surgery, she is helping to refine standards for accuracy and recovery. Her work is particularly impactful for trainees and clinicians seeking to differentiate SI joint pathology from other spinal disorders, and her operative videos provide a clear, step-by-step guide to complex procedures. As her techniques gain wider adoption, her contributions are poised to shape the future of minimally invasive spinal care.
