About
Katherine G. Holste is a neurosurgeon-researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive spine surgery, with a particular focus on sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction and robotic-assisted techniques. Her major contribution lies in advancing surgical approaches for SI joint pain—a condition that often mimics lumbar radiculopathy and is notoriously difficult to diagnose. In her highly cited 2022 operative video, Holste demonstrates a robot-assisted, minimally invasive fusion technique for patients who have failed conservative treatment, offering a precise, reproducible method that reduces tissue trauma and improves recovery. This work has garnered early attention (4 citations) for its clarity in depicting a complex procedure that bridges neurosurgery and orthopedics. Holste’s research is notable for its emphasis on accurate diagnosis and surgical nuance, helping to differentiate SI joint pathology from other spinal disorders. Her contributions are especially valuable for trainees and surgeons seeking to expand their minimally invasive repertoire, positioning her as a rising voice in the field of robotic spine surgery.
