Venkat Kavuri's work focuses on spine surgery outcomes, particularly using large national databases to study trends, safety, complications, and cost-effectiveness of cervical and lumbar spine procedures. Recent work examines how factors like obesity, sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), and socioeconomic status affect surgical risks and long-term health outcomes after spine surgery. This research is oriented toward clinical and health-services questions relevant to orthopedic and neurosurgical practice.
