About

Syeda Sana Samar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and neurosurgery, whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive stereotactic procedures. Her most-cited paper, "Robotics in neurosurgery: A literature review" (2018, 38 citations), provides a comprehensive synthesis of the evolving landscape of robotic-assisted neurosurgery, critically evaluating its efficacy and identifying key obstacles to successful clinical outcomes. Samar's contributions lie in systematically mapping the technological and procedural challenges—such as precision limitations and integration hurdles—that must be overcome for robotic systems to gain widespread acceptance in neurosurgery. Her review has become a foundational reference for researchers and clinicians seeking evidence-based consensus on robotic applications in the operating room. By highlighting both the promise and the pitfalls of this emerging technology, Samar has helped shape the discourse around surgical robotics, guiding future innovations toward safer, more effective solutions. Her work continues to inspire students and researchers exploring the frontiers of surgical automation, making her a vital voice in the ongoing evolution of neurosurgical practice.
