About
Alejandra Climent is a leading pediatric neurosurgeon whose work focuses on the application of robotic stereotaxy for the treatment of complex movement disorders and refractory epilepsy in children. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the safety, precision, and clinical utility of frameless robot-assisted deep brain stimulation (DBS) and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) in pediatric populations—areas where surgical accuracy is paramount due to smaller anatomical targets. Her 2018 study on frameless robot-assisted pallidal DBS for hyperkinetic movement disorders (36 citations) provided crucial early evidence that robotic systems like the Neuromate could achieve high electrode placement accuracy with favorable short-term clinical outcomes. Complementing this, her work on robot-assisted SEEG for refractory epilepsy (32 citations) established its usefulness and technical feasibility in children, addressing key challenges in pediatric epilepsy surgery. By pioneering these minimally invasive, high-precision techniques, Climent has significantly expanded surgical options for young patients with otherwise debilitating conditions, setting new standards for safety and efficacy in pediatric functional neurosurgery.
