About
Shaun Rodgers is a neurosurgeon and researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of robotic surgery, stereotactic neurosurgery, and surgical innovation. His research has focused primarily on optimizing the clinical integration of the Robotic Surgical Assistant (ROSA™) platform, a frameless stereotactic system approved by the FDA in 2012 that has transformed minimally invasive brain surgery. Rodgers has made particularly notable contributions to surgical training and preparation, pioneering the use of 3-dimensional printing technology to create rehearsal models that allow surgical teams to familiarize themselves with complex robotic equipment before operating on patients — a meaningful advance in both safety and procedural confidence. His work on stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode placement using ROSA has helped refine techniques for epilepsy surgery workup, while his more recent research introduced a novel adapter enabling the ROSA robot to function as a navigation tool for lesion resection — a creative expansion of the platform's capabilities beyond its original design. With citations spanning robotics, stereotaxy, and surgical planning, Rodgers' contributions reflect a commitment to making complex neurosurgical technology safer, more accessible, and more versatile for both surgeons and patients alike.
