About
Dr. Smruti Mahapatra is a leading researcher in robotic spine surgery, with a primary focus on enhancing the precision and reliability of pedicle screw placement. Her most cited work introduces a novel three-dimensional grading system for evaluating the accuracy of robot-assisted instrumentation, directly addressing a critical need as robotic systems gain traction in the U.S. market. By developing a preplanned trajectory-based assessment method, Dr. Mahapatra provides a robust mechanism for quantifying surgical outcomes and driving technological refinement. This study, which has garnered 43 citations, exemplifies her commitment to bridging engineering and clinical practice—offering surgeons a standardized tool to improve patient safety and procedural consistency. Her contributions are foundational for advancing minimally invasive spinal procedures, positioning her as a key voice in the evolution of computer-assisted orthopedics.
