About
Anita M. Klukowska is a leading researcher in the field of spinal neurosurgery, with a primary focus on the precision and safety of thoracolumbar instrumentation. Her work critically evaluates the comparative efficacy of robot-guided, navigated, and freehand pedicle screw placement. Her most impactful contribution, a 2018 systematic review and meta-analysis on pedicle screw revision rates (121 citations), provides essential evidence for surgical decision-making, demonstrating the advantages of robotic assistance in reducing revision surgeries. Klukowska further advanced the field with a 2019 meta-analysis on perioperative parameters (36 citations), offering a comprehensive view of operative efficiency and patient outcomes. Beyond spinal surgery, she has significantly contributed to understanding the global adoption of robotic technology in neurosurgery. Her 2020 survey (38 citations) provides a unique, worldwide perspective on the integration of robotic systems into neurosurgical practice, highlighting both current usage and the attitudes of neurosurgeons toward this evolving technology. Klukowska’s work is instrumental in shaping the evidence base for minimally invasive, technology-driven spinal surgery.
