About
Sean B. Sequeira is an orthopedic surgery researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robotic-assisted joint replacement technology, with particular expertise in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). His research critically evaluates how robotic platforms compare to conventional surgical techniques across a range of clinically meaningful outcomes, including implant accuracy, soft-tissue preservation, surgeon ergonomics, and radiation exposure. Sequeira's most influential contribution to date is a 2023 meta-analysis on cadaveric specimens examining biomechanical resection accuracy in robotic versus conventional TKA, which has already accumulated 8 citations — a strong early indicator of its relevance to the field. His subsequent work has expanded this investigative lens to the direct anterior approach for THA, where he has demonstrated that robotic assistance may meaningfully reduce intraoperative fluoroscopy use, thereby limiting radiation exposure to both patients and surgical teams, while also potentially minimizing iatrogenic soft-tissue damage. A 2024 study further examined the physical and mental demands placed on surgeons during these procedures, adding an important human factors dimension to the robotic surgery conversation. Collectively, Sequeira's growing body of work positions him as a promising voice in evidence-based evaluation of emerging surgical technologies.
