About

Dr. Bakhtawar Mubeen is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neurosurgery and robotic technology, whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of minimally invasive stereotactic procedures. Her landmark 2018 literature review, "Robotics in neurosurgery," has garnered 38 citations, establishing her as a key voice in evaluating the efficacy and evolution of robotic systems in cranial and spinal interventions. Mubeen’s primary contributions lie in critically assessing the evidence base for robotic-assisted neurosurgery, identifying both its transformative potential—such as enhanced precision in deep-brain stimulation and tumor biopsies—and the persistent obstacles to widespread adoption, including cost, training, and technological limitations. Her research systematically maps the trajectory from early stereotactic frames to modern autonomous robotic platforms, providing an essential framework for clinicians and engineers alike. By synthesizing decades of clinical data, Mubeen has illuminated the path toward consensus on best practices, making her work indispensable for anyone seeking to understand the current state and future directions of robotic neurosurgery. Her scholarship continues to guide the safe, evidence-based integration of robotics into the operating room.
