About

Dr. Anas Bardeesi is a pioneering spine surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex lumbar pathologies. His primary research focus is the evolution of the Prone-Transpsoas (PTP) approach to lumbar interbody fusion, a technique that builds upon traditional lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) to achieve superior biomechanical outcomes. In his highly cited 2024 narrative review, Dr. Bardeesi systematically demonstrated how PTP leverages the natural increase in lordosis afforded by the prone position, resulting in significantly greater lumbar lordosis gains compared to conventional LLIF. This work, already accruing 10 citations shortly after publication, has reshaped surgical decision-making by clarifying the expanded indications for PTP, including its utility in deformity correction and revision cases. Through detailed case presentations, he provided a practical roadmap for surgeons transitioning to this approach, emphasizing reduced operative times and improved sagittal alignment. Dr. Bardeesi’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between theoretical biomechanics and actionable surgical technique, establishing him as a leading voice in the next generation of spinal deformity surgery. His ongoing research continues to refine patient selection criteria and long-term outcomes for prone-positioned lateral approaches.
