About
Sabine Rona is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work is transforming the surgical evaluation of drug-resistant epilepsy. Her primary research focuses on advanced stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) techniques, particularly for challenging brain regions like the insula and temporal lobe. Dr. Rona’s most cited work, “Frame-based and robot-assisted insular stereo-electroencephalography via an anterior or posterior oblique approach” (2021, 34 citations), provides a critical methodological framework for safely implanting SEEG electrodes in the insula—a deep, functionally complex structure often implicated in refractory seizures. This contribution has directly addressed a major clinical challenge, enabling more precise seizure localization. Her subsequent study, “Robot-assisted stereoencephalography vs subdural electrodes in the evaluation of temporal lobe epilepsy” (2023, 8 citations), further demonstrates her impact by comparing minimally invasive robotic SEEG with traditional subdural grids, showing comparable efficacy with significantly reduced patient morbidity. By championing robot-assisted, frame-based approaches, Dr. Rona is not only advancing surgical precision but also improving patient outcomes and recovery. Her work is essential reading for any clinician or researcher seeking to understand the cutting edge of invasive epilepsy monitoring.
