About
Barlas Benkli is a leading figure in the field of spinal surgery, with a primary focus on the precision and safety of complex instrumentation techniques. His most-cited work, "Accuracy of S2 Alar-Iliac Screw Placement Under Robotic Guidance" (2017, 78 citations), represents a pivotal contribution to the literature on pelvic fixation. This study rigorously evaluated the use of robotic-assisted navigation for S2 alar-iliac (S2AI) screws, demonstrating a significantly higher accuracy rate compared to traditional freehand methods. By quantifying the reduction in cortical breach and the improvement in screw trajectory, Benkli’s research provided compelling evidence that robotic guidance can enhance the reliability of this technically demanding procedure, which is critical for long-segment fusions and deformity correction. His work has directly influenced surgical protocols, offering a safer alternative for patients with complex spinal pathologies. Through this landmark paper, Benkli has established himself as an authority on the intersection of robotics and spinal biomechanics, advancing the standard of care in minimally invasive and high-precision spine surgery.
