    In addition to pediatric spine deformities, Dr. Lolli has vast experience addressing degenerative spine conditions, such as herniated discs, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis, using both traditional and cutting-edge non-fusion techniques.

    An active member of the AO Spine association, Dr. Lolli contributes to global education and research in spine care. His academic contributions are extensive, with over 30 publications in leading medical journals (Spine, European Spine Journal, The Spine Journal) and more than 100 reports presented at national and international conferences. He has also been a keynote speaker at numerous prestigious events, including the Global Spine Congress and the Bologna Spine Meeting.

    Dr. Lolli’s dedication to advancing spine surgery and improving patient outcomes has made him a respected figure in the field, both in Italy and internationally.
