About
Dr. Stephane Owusu-Sarpong is a pioneering spine surgeon whose research centers on robotic-assisted spine surgery, surgical proficiency, and clinical outcomes. His most cited work, "Proficiency Development and Learning Curve in Robot-Assisted Spine Surgery Using the ExcelsiusGPS® System," published in 2024 with 14 citations, provides critical insights into the adoption of advanced surgical technologies. In this retrospective cohort study, Dr. Owusu-Sarpong systematically analyzed the learning curve for the ExcelsiusGPS® system, demonstrating that surgeons can achieve proficiency after a defined number of cases, thereby enhancing patient safety and procedural efficiency. This contribution is particularly significant as it addresses a gap in the literature, which previously focused on older robotic platforms like the Mazor system. By quantifying the learning process, his work offers a roadmap for training programs and helps standardize robotic spine surgery. Dr. Owusu-Sarpong’s research not only advances surgical technique but also underscores his commitment to evidence-based practice, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive spine surgery.
