About
Dr. Francesco T. Mangano is a leading pediatric neurosurgeon whose research focuses on advanced surgical interventions for complex epilepsy and hydrocephalus in children. His most impactful work centers on the application of responsive neurostimulation (RNS) device therapy in pediatric patients with medically refractory epilepsy, demonstrating that this neuromodulation approach can significantly reduce seizure burden in children who have failed multiple antiepileptic medications. With 18 citations, this 2022 study is a landmark contribution, advocating for earlier surgical consideration in drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy as recommended by the American Academy of Neurology. Dr. Mangano’s broader contributions include pioneering minimally invasive techniques for hydrocephalus treatment and refining endoscopic third ventriculostomy outcomes. His research has been cited over 1,000 times, reflecting its influence on clinical practice. Notably, he has served as a principal investigator in multicenter trials evaluating novel neurostimulation devices and has authored numerous guidelines on pediatric epilepsy surgery. Dr. Mangano’s work bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and compassionate care, offering new hope for children with devastating neurological conditions.
