About
Joey S. Kurtzman is a rising figure in peripheral nerve surgery and neurosurgical innovation, with a focused expertise in compressive neuropathies and advanced surgical visualization. His most cited work, "Meralgia Paresthetica: An Anatomical Review and Surgical Case Presentation Utilizing a Robotic Exoscope" (2024), exemplifies his dual commitment to rigorous anatomical understanding and cutting-edge technology. In this paper, Kurtzman provides a comprehensive anatomical review of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) and its variable compression sites, while pioneering the use of a robotic exoscope—a novel visualization tool—for surgical decompression. This contribution not only clarifies the pathophysiology of meralgia paresthetica but also demonstrates a safer, more precise surgical approach. Though early in his career, his work has already garnered citations from peers seeking to replicate his technique. Kurtzman’s research bridges the gap between classical anatomy and modern robotics, offering tangible improvements in patient outcomes for those suffering from chronic neuropathic pain. His ongoing investigations promise to further refine nerve decompression strategies, positioning him as a promising innovator in the field of neurosurgery.
