Demitre Serletis

About

Dr. Demitre Serletis is a pioneering neurosurgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of epilepsy surgery, stereotactic technology, and robotic neurosurgery. His primary research focus is the mapping and treatment of complex epileptic networks, with a landmark contribution being a prospective study of 200 patients that validated the stereotactic approach for stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). This work, cited over 180 times, demonstrated the power of SEEG in providing accurate 3D recordings of epileptiform activity, particularly for accessing deep cortical structures. Dr. Serletis has also been instrumental in advancing the field of robotic stereotaxy, authoring a highly cited qualitative systematic review on the topic and contributing a foundational chapter on the introduction and history of robotics in neurosurgery. More recently, he has developed and validated a novel, noninvasive fiducial attachment for stereotactic robotic-guided SEEG, enhancing registration accuracy and patient safety. With a career dedicated to merging engineering innovation with clinical precision, Dr. Serletis continues to shape the future of minimally invasive, image-guided neurosurgery.
