About

Dr. Alp Ozpinar is a neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the advancement of minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques and precision radiotherapy. His primary contributions lie in the refinement of robotic-assisted stereotaxy and the application of stereotactic radiosurgery for complex spinal pathologies. Notably, Dr. Ozpinar’s 2017 study on the Robotic Stereotactic Assistance (ROSA) system demonstrated a novel method for the precise, minimally invasive placement of intraparenchymal hematoma and intraventricular catheters, a technique that has garnered 24 citations for its potential to improve patient outcomes in critical care settings. In a parallel line of inquiry, he prospectively evaluated the use of cone-beam CT (CBCT) image guidance for stereotactic radiosurgery of intradural spine tumors—a relatively underexplored application. His 2017 work on this topic, with 19 citations, provides crucial evidence for the safety and efficacy of CBCT-guided radiosurgery in treating these challenging lesions, expanding the therapeutic arsenal for spinal oncology. Through these focused investigations, Dr. Ozpinar is helping to define the next generation of safer, more accurate neurosurgical interventions.
