About
Dr. Julia Sharma is a leading pediatric neurosurgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing the safety and precision of epilepsy surgery in children. Her most impactful contribution is a landmark 2019 study comparing robot-assisted and optical frameless navigated stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode placement. This highly cited work (62 citations) provided critical, objective data demonstrating the superior accuracy of robotic assistance in placing electrodes to map epileptic foci in young patients. By systematically identifying factors that increase the risk of electrode misplacement, Dr. Sharma’s research has directly informed surgical protocols, helping to minimize complications and improve seizure-free outcomes for children with drug-resistant epilepsy. Her findings have established a new benchmark for precision in pediatric SEEG, influencing neurosurgical practice internationally. Through this rigorous comparative analysis, Dr. Sharma has not only validated the role of robotics in pediatric neuromodulation but has also provided a vital framework for safer, more effective surgical planning in this vulnerable population.
