About

Jaykar R. Panchmatia is a spine surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving the safety and precision of spinal instrumentation, particularly through the evaluation of percutaneous pedicle screw placement. His most cited study, "Lumbar Percutaneous Pedicle Screw Breach Rates" (2020), is a landmark cadaveric investigation that systematically quantified the incidence and patterns of pedicle breaches during minimally invasive lumbar fixation. This work directly addresses a critical clinical concern—neurological injury, durotomy, and vascular damage—by providing evidence-based benchmarks for breach rates and highlighting anatomical risk factors. With 14 citations, the study has become a key reference for surgeons and trainees seeking to optimize screw trajectory and reduce complications. Panchmatia’s contributions bridge the gap between surgical technique and patient safety, offering practical insights that inform preoperative planning and intraoperative decision-making. His research underscores a commitment to advancing minimally invasive spine surgery through rigorous, outcome-driven analysis, making him a valuable voice in the ongoing effort to refine spinal fixation methods and improve patient outcomes.
