About
D. Glauser is a pioneering figure in the field of robotic stereotactic neurosurgery, whose work has fundamentally shaped how surgeons interact with medical robotics. His primary research areas include the design and clinical application of robotic systems for intracranial procedures, with a specific focus on CT-guided stereotactic surgery. Glauser’s most significant contribution is the development of the neurosurgical robot Minerva, a groundbreaking system that integrates a CT scanner with a robotic arm to perform complete stereotactic operations—from image processing to probe manipulation—with exceptional accuracy and safety. His seminal paper on Minerva’s first clinical results has garnered 128 citations, underscoring its influence. He also advanced functional neurosurgery by introducing a robotic three-dimensional electrode probe, which reduced the need for multiple brain penetrations during physiological exploration. With over 350 total citations across his key works, Glauser’s research has established foundational principles for robotic precision in neurosurgery, making him a key innovator in the transition from manual to robot-assisted brain surgery.
