About

Anna Miserocchi is a prominent neurosurgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on the surgical management of drug-resistant epilepsy, with particular expertise in stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) and stereotactic neurosurgical techniques. Her most influential contribution, a 2012 paper on SEEG methodology that has garnered over 520 citations, helped establish and disseminate this intricate invasive evaluation technique for presurgical epilepsy assessment, building on the foundational work of Talairach and Bancaud. Miserocchi has consistently advanced the field's understanding of electrode placement accuracy, demonstrated through her widely cited 2017 systematic review and meta-analysis with 143 citations, which rigorously evaluated procedural safety and precision. Her research has evolved to embrace technological innovation, including a landmark randomized controlled trial comparing robotic versus manual electrode implantation — one of the first prospective studies of its kind — and pioneering work applying cumulative summation analysis to improve patient safety during the introduction of novel robotic guidance systems. Her 2022 review of evolving SEEG techniques further underscores her role as a forward-thinking voice in epilepsy surgery, making her an essential reference for clinicians and researchers navigating the rapidly advancing landscape of neuromodulation and surgical epileptology.
