About

Dr. Wael Hassaneen is a leading figure in spinal neurosurgery, whose work is revolutionizing the precision and safety of spinal instrumentation. His primary research focuses on the evolution of surgical technology, specifically the comparative accuracy of robotic-assisted, navigation-guided, and freehand techniques for pedicle screw placement. Dr. Hassaneen’s major contribution is his comprehensive systematic review, "Trends in Technology for Pedicle Screw Placement," which critically analyzed decades of data to map how successive generations of robotic systems have improved placement accuracy over time. This pivotal work, which has garnered 26 citations since its 2023 publication, provides a crucial evidence-based framework for surgeons choosing between emerging technologies. By quantifying the learning curve and accuracy gains of modern robotics, Dr. Hassaneen’s research directly informs clinical decision-making, aiming to reduce complication rates and improve patient outcomes in complex spinal deformity and trauma cases. His scholarship positions him as a key voice in the ongoing dialogue between technological innovation and surgical practice, helping to define the future standard of care for spinal fixation.
