About
Anthony Costa is a leading figure in the intersection of neurosurgery and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on developing patient-specific surgical planning tools. His most impactful work centers on the use of 3D-printed anatomical models to enhance the precision and safety of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), a critical procedure for localizing epileptic foci. Costa’s landmark 2018 paper, "Robotic surgical rehearsal on patient-specific 3D-printed skull models for stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)," has garnered 11 citations, demonstrating its influence in advancing pre-surgical rehearsal techniques. By integrating robotic systems with customized 3D-printed skull replicas, he enables surgeons to practice complex electrode placements before entering the operating room, significantly reducing procedural risks and improving outcomes. This innovative approach bridges the gap between virtual simulation and tangible practice, offering a new standard for training and operative planning in epilepsy surgery. Costa’s work is widely recognized for its translational impact, directly benefiting both clinicians and patients by making high-stakes neurosurgical interventions more predictable and effective.
