About

Christine Bulteau is a leading neurosurgeon whose research focuses on the surgical treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, with a particular emphasis on hypothalamic hamartomas (HH). Her major contributions center on advancing minimally invasive techniques to improve patient safety and outcomes. She has pioneered the use of robot-assisted, thulium laser–based procedures for the endoscopic disconnection of HH, demonstrating that this approach is both safe and feasible, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional lesion removal. Her work has shown that disconnection procedures can be as effective as resection while significantly reducing risks. With her most-cited papers each garnering 61 citations, Bulteau’s research has had a notable impact on epilepsy surgery, providing a paradigm shift in how hypothalamic hamartomas are treated. Her innovative use of advanced laser technology and robotics highlights her commitment to refining surgical precision and expanding treatment options for patients with complex epilepsy.
