Nikita Lakomkin, MD

Resident, Neurologic Surgery
Mayo Clinic

My name is Nikita Lakomkin and I am one of the neurosurgery residents at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN going into complex spine. I have developed a subspecialty interest in complex spine surgery, including minimally invasive lateral access surgery and advanced osteotomies for the surgical correction of scoliosis/kyphosis. This year, I am completing an MIS/deformity fellowship with Dr. Greg Mundis and Dr. Bob Eastlack at the San Diego Spine Foundation.
