Dr. Chaidej Sasomboon

• Medical Studies: Doctor of Medicine (MD), Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand (Graduated 2008)
• Orthopedic Residency: Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Ramathibodi Hospital, Thailand (Completed 2015)
• Spine Surgery Fellowship: Specialized Spine Fellowship, Bangkok Hospital Medical Center, Thailand (Completed 2017)
• U.S. Minimally Invasive Fellowship: Specialized Clinical Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), USA
• U.S. Complex Deformity Fellowship: Specialized Clinical Fellowship in Complex & Deformity Spine Surgery, Och Spine Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, USA
• Clinical Registry: View Dr. Chaidej’s Profile on the Official Bangkok Hospital Website

• North American Spine Society (NASS): International Active Member.
• The Royal College of Orthopaedic Surgeons of Thailand (RCOST): Certified Fellow.
• The Medical Council of Thailand: Registered Active Medical Specialist.

• Dual Ivy-League & Tier-1 U.S. Training: Dr. Chaidej stands out as one of the few spine surgeons in Asia to have completed dual, highly selective post-doctoral fellowships at both UCSF and Columbia University NewYork-Presbyterian, consistently ranked among the top spine centers in the United States.
• Advanced Navigation Specialist: An elite expert in executing high-precision procedures using state-of-the-art O-arm navigation and intraoperative neuromonitoring. This acts as a real-time 3D surgical GPS, allowing him to track implant placement to the exact millimetre while constantly monitoring nerve paths for absolute safety.
• Published Clinical Investigator: Actively contributes to peer-reviewed clinical literature, publishing key tracking studies in the Bangkok Medical Journal evaluating architectural pelvis and spine balance modifications following lumbosacral fusion procedures.

His Surgical Philosophy: “Tailor-Made Spine Surgery”

“Every spine is unique. Rather than forcing a patient’s anatomy to fit a pre-existing template, every incision, instrumentation path, and motion-preserving or stabilizing construct must be custom-engineered to match the precise biomechanics of that individual.”

Dr. Chaidej Sasomboon utilizes ultra-high-definition optics and tissue-preserving methods to treat complex spinal pathways. His core areas of expertise include:

• Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (ACDF / TLIF / OLIF): Keyhole and muscle-splitting methods to decompress and stabilize the neck and lower back. By utilizing tiny access windows, he preserves adjacent soft tissues, allowing international patients to experience significantly less post-op discomfort and a much faster recovery window.

• Complex Spine & Revision Surgery: Re-operating and correcting failed past spinal procedures or managing multi-segment structural degeneration using computer-guided, image-navigated safety protocols.
• Spondylolisthesis & Spinal Alignment: High-precision correction for severe spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage), restoring proper structural balance and spinal spacing while relieving compressed nerve roots.
• Targeted Spinal Stenosis Decompression: Micro-surgical techniques designed to carefully clear structural blockages within a narrowed canal. This provides immediate pressure relief for patients struggling with chronic spinal stenosis without destabilizing the surrounding bone structures.
