About

Shota Ikegami is a pioneering orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing spinal deformity surgery through robotic assistance and precision instrumentation. His primary research areas include robot-assisted pedicle screw insertion, scoliosis correction, and the development of novel intraoperative techniques to enhance surgical accuracy and patient safety. Ikegami’s most notable contribution is his 2024 study on the impact of landmark crater creation for improving pedicle screw placement accuracy in robot-assisted scoliosis surgery, a technique that addresses critical challenges in navigating complex spinal anatomy. This work, already garnering 4 citations, demonstrates his ability to translate engineering principles into practical surgical solutions. By refining robotic workflows, Ikegami has helped reduce malposition rates and improve outcomes for patients with severe spinal deformities. His research bridges the gap between robotics and clinical orthopedics, offering a blueprint for safer, more reproducible procedures. As a rising figure in the field, Ikegami’s innovations are poised to influence both surgical training and the next generation of computer-assisted spine surgery.
