Ken Porche, M.D., is a neurosurgeon and Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Porche specializes in complex spine and peripheral nerve surgery, emphasizing advanced, minimally invasive techniques and multidisciplinary care. He completed his neurosurgery residency at the University of Florida and two CAST-accredited fellowships: Spine Surgery at the University of Utah and Peripheral Nerve Surgery at Mayo Clinic, Rochester. Additionally, he completed a two-month fellowship in deformity spine surgery at Mayo Clinic and holds the AO Global Spine Diploma.

Dr. Porche's clinical expertise includes:

  • Minimally invasive and complex spinal reconstruction
  • Peripheral nerve decompression and nerve transfers
  • Management of spinal tumors and deformities
  • Care for neonatal and adult brachial plexus injuries
  • Selective denervation for cervical dystonia
  • Neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2 (NF1 and NF2) management
  • Comprehensive care for benign and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors

Active in research, Dr. Porche integrates artificial intelligence and predictive modeling into patient care. He serves as Co-chair of the Mayo Arizona Biobank Initiative and has authored over 40 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, frequently presenting at national and international conferences.
