About

Eaman Balouch is a rising researcher in the field of spine surgery, with a focused interest in the comparative effectiveness and learning curves of advanced surgical technologies. Her work critically evaluates the integration of robotic assistance and navigation systems into spinal procedures, particularly in transforaminal and anterior lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF and ALIF). In her 2020 study, Balouch provided a comprehensive comparison of freehand, fluoroscopic, CT navigation, and robot-guided techniques for TLIF and ALIF, offering early evidence on the relative accuracy and safety of these approaches. Her 2021 investigation into robotic pedicle screw placement revealed a dynamic learning curve that is significantly influenced by the spine surgery invasiveness index, a finding with direct implications for surgical training and adoption of new technologies. Though her citation counts are currently modest, Balouch’s contributions are foundational for surgeons and researchers navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of minimally invasive and robot-assisted spine surgery. Her work stands out for its methodological rigor and practical relevance, marking her as a promising voice in the ongoing effort to optimize patient outcomes through technological innovation.
