About
Semhal Ghessese is a leading researcher in pediatric spinal deformity surgery, with a focused expertise in the application of advanced surgical technologies to improve outcomes for young patients. Her work centers on the critical evaluation of robotic-assisted and navigated techniques for pedicle screw placement, particularly in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Ghessese’s major contributions include providing some of the first clinical evidence on the safety and accuracy of combining robotic assistance with stealth navigation in pediatric populations. Her landmark study, "Initial intraoperative experience with robotic-assisted pedicle screw placement with stealth navigation in pediatric spine deformity," with 45 citations, established a foundational benchmark for this emerging technology. She further advanced the field by directly comparing this robotic-assisted and navigated (RAN) approach against the traditional freehand technique, demonstrating significant improvements in screw placement accuracy. With over 60 combined citations for her key works, Ghessese’s research is instrumental in shaping modern surgical protocols, offering compelling data that supports the adoption of these precision technologies to enhance patient safety and surgical efficacy in complex pediatric spine cases.
