About

D. Le Gars is a leading neurosurgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted procedures. His research centers on improving the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of stereotactic biopsies and deep brain stimulation (DBS) lead implantations. A major contribution is his pioneering work on the ROSA® stereotactic robot, where he systematically investigated the impact of different imaging modalities and registration methods on surgical precision. His landmark study on frameless robotic stereotactic biopsies, reporting a consecutive series of 100 cases (128 citations), established the technique as a rapid, accurate, and safe alternative to traditional frame-based methods. In another highly influential work (117 citations), he used a phantom model to quantify how reference imaging and intraoperative flat-panel CT affect robot accuracy, providing critical data for clinical implementation. His research on robotic DBS implantation (59 citations) further demonstrated the value of integrating intraoperative imaging to enhance lead placement. Through these studies, Le Gars has been instrumental in validating robotic systems for routine neurosurgical use, helping to reduce patient morbidity while improving procedural outcomes.
