About
Elird Bojaxhi is pioneering a paradigm shift in spine surgery, championing awake spinal procedures to enhance patient safety and recovery. His research centers on the transformative potential of performing complex surgeries—such as transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF)—under spinal anesthesia rather than general anesthesia. Bojaxhi’s major contributions include demonstrating that awake minimally invasive surgery (MIS) can minimize positioning-related complications, a critical advancement for vulnerable populations. In his prospective study with one-year follow-up, he showed that pedicle screw placement accuracy in awake MIS-TLIF rivals that of traditional methods, while reducing risks associated with prone positioning and prolonged intubation. Though his most-cited work has garnered 4 citations, the novelty of his 2024 publications signals growing influence in the field. By merging robotic assistance with spinal anesthesia, Bojaxhi is redefining standards for outpatient spine care, offering patients a safer, less invasive path to recovery. His work stands as a beacon for future research into patient-centered, complication-sparing surgical innovations.
