About

Sidhant Dalal is a leading researcher in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery, with a focused expertise in the application of robotic and navigation technologies. His major contributions center on quantifying the safety and efficiency of these advanced surgical tools. In his landmark 2022 study, cited 55 times, Dalal demonstrated that robotic assistance significantly reduces radiation exposure for both patients and surgeons during minimally invasive lumbar fusion compared to standard navigation, addressing a critical occupational hazard. Building on this, his 2023 analysis of 1,050 pedicle screws using the floor-mounted ExcelsiusGPS robot—garnering 23 citations—established a benchmark for screw placement accuracy and proximal level violation rates. This work provides robust, large-scale evidence supporting the adoption of floor-mounted robotic systems in degenerative spine surgery. By combining rigorous retrospective cohort designs with high-volume data, Dalal’s research directly informs clinical decision-making, helping surgeons optimize patient outcomes while minimizing procedural risks. His findings are essential reading for any clinician or researcher exploring the intersection of robotics, radiation safety, and spinal fusion.
