About

Dennis Vasquez-Montes is a leading researcher in the field of spine surgery, with a primary focus on optimizing surgical technology and patient safety. His work critically examines the cost-benefit dynamics of advanced surgical tools, particularly in lumbar spine fusion procedures. His most impactful study, "A cost benefit analysis of increasing surgical technology in lumbar spine fusion" (2020, 66 citations), provides a pivotal economic framework for evaluating the adoption of high-tech equipment in operating rooms. Vasquez-Montes is also renowned for his investigations into radiation exposure during spine surgery. His landmark 2020 paper (26 citations) offers a rigorous retrospective comparison of intraoperative CT image-guided navigation, robotic assistance, and traditional fluoroscopy, revealing crucial insights into how these technologies affect both patient radiation doses and perioperative outcomes. This work is essential for surgeons seeking to balance the benefits of precision guidance with the risks of radiation. By quantifying trade-offs in cost, exposure, and clinical results, Vasquez-Montes has established himself as a key voice in evidence-based spine surgery, helping to guide the responsible integration of innovation into clinical practice.
