About
Edem J. Abotsi is a spine surgery researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical precision and patient safety in posterior lumbar fusion procedures. His primary research areas include intraoperative imaging technology, radiation exposure reduction, and the comparative effectiveness of navigation systems in spinal surgery. Abotsi’s major contribution lies in systematically evaluating how advanced technologies—such as CT image-guided navigation (IGN) and robotic assistance—affect both patient radiation exposure and perioperative outcomes compared to traditional intraoperative fluoroscopy. His most-cited study (2020, 26 citations) provides critical evidence that while IGN and robotic systems enhance surgical accuracy, they also introduce distinct radiation exposure profiles that surgeons must carefully manage. This work has direct implications for clinical decision-making, helping spine surgeons balance the benefits of technological assistance against potential risks. By quantifying these trade-offs, Abotsi has contributed to the growing body of literature guiding the safe adoption of robotic and navigation-assisted spine surgery. His research is particularly valuable for residents and fellows learning to navigate the evolving landscape of minimally invasive spinal techniques, offering data-driven insights that inform both surgical planning and patient counseling.
