About
Dr. Favour C. Ononogbu-Uche is a rising leader in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery, with a focused expertise in advanced lateral approaches to the lumbar spine. Her most impactful work to date, the 2024 narrative review "Advancing Prone-Transpsoas Spine Surgery," has already garnered 10 citations, establishing her as a key voice in the evolution of this technique. In this seminal paper, Dr. Ononogbu-Uche systematically demonstrates how the Prone Transpsoas (PTP) approach—an innovative refinement of traditional lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF)—offers superior biomechanical advantages, most notably the ability to achieve greater gains in lumbar lordosis by leveraging the natural curvature of the spine when the patient is positioned prone. Her contribution is not merely a technical description; she provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the evolution of indications, supported by representative clinical cases. By articulating the clear benefits of PTP over conventional LLIF, Dr. Ononogbu-Uche is helping to redefine surgical standards, offering spine surgeons a powerful tool to improve patient outcomes in complex deformity and degenerative conditions. Her work signals a promising career dedicated to advancing surgical precision and patient recovery.
