Vivek J. Ramakrishnan is an American neurosurgeon whose published work has focused on spinal trauma surgery, robotic-guided spinal instrumentation, and minimally invasive spinal procedures.[1]
He completed neurosurgical residency training at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, California, where he collaborated with neurosurgeon Javed Siddiqi on spinal surgery research and neurosurgical education.[1]
Education
Ramakrishnan studied neuroscience at the College of William & Mary before earning a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine.[2]
He later completed neurosurgical residency training at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Southern California.[3]
Career and research
During residency and subsequent clinical work in Southern California, Ramakrishnan participated in spinal trauma surgery and neurosurgical research involving robotic-assisted spinal instrumentation.[1]
His published work has included research involving thoracolumbar fixation techniques, cervical instrumentation complications, and minimally invasive spinal surgery.[1]
A 2017 peer-reviewed study co-authored by Ramakrishnan evaluated the accuracy of robotically guided thoracolumbar and sacral pedicle screw placement compared with fluoroscopy-guided and CT-guided instrumentation techniques.[1]
The study was archived through PubMed Central and involved researchers associated with Desert Regional Medical Center and the California Institute of Neurosciences.[1]
Additional publications authored or co-authored by Ramakrishnan include research involving cervical fixation complications and experimental oncological therapeutics.[4][5]
Collaboration with Javed Siddiqi
Ramakrishnan worked with neurosurgeon Javed Siddiqi during residency training at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.[1]
Their collaboration included spinal trauma surgery research and publications involving robotic-guided spinal instrumentation.[1]
Ramakrishnan also contributed to Neurosurgical Intensive Care, a neurosurgical reference textbook edited by Siddiqi and published by Thieme Medical Publishers.[6]
