Angelika Gutenberg

About

Angelika Gutenberg is a leading figure in the advancement of stereotactic and computer-assisted neurosurgery. Her research focuses on bridging the gap between traditional frame-based and modern frameless techniques, with a particular emphasis on enhancing precision, flexibility, and patient comfort during complex interventions. Her most impactful work, the 2015 feasibility study on brain biopsies using a head-mounted robot (50 citations), demonstrates her pioneering role in integrating robotics into stereotaxy. This work challenges the gold standard by offering a less invasive alternative to the bulky head ring, potentially transforming patient outcomes. Gutenberg further extends her expertise into spinal surgery, developing innovative cross-platform planning methods for complex procedures. Her contributions are not only technical but also practical, aiming to seamlessly transfer three-dimensional trajectories from planning software to intraoperative navigation systems. Through these achievements, Gutenberg is shaping a future where neurosurgical interventions are more adaptable, less burdensome for patients, and more precise for surgeons.
