About

Dr. Bianca Battilana is a leading spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for lumbar degenerative disease, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted spinal fusion. Her major contributions lie in the comparative evaluation of robotic surgical approaches, most notably through her landmark 2020 study comparing robot-guided transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (RG-TLIF) and robot-guided posterior lumbar interbody fusion (RG-PLIF). This work, which has garnered 10 citations, was among the first clinical investigations to directly contrast different robotic techniques in spine surgery, providing critical evidence on outcomes, safety, and efficacy. Dr. Battilana’s research has helped refine surgical decision-making by demonstrating the advantages of robot-guided approaches in reducing invasiveness and improving precision. Her findings have been instrumental in shaping modern spine surgery protocols, offering patients less invasive options with faster recovery. Through her pioneering comparative studies, Dr. Battilana continues to influence the integration of robotics into spinal care, making her a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive orthopedics.
