About
Divya P. Prajapati is a pediatric neurosurgeon whose research focuses on innovative, minimally invasive surgical approaches for treating complex brain tumors and hydrocephalus in children. Her major contributions center on evaluating endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) as a palliative alternative to traditional shunting in pediatric patients with inoperable brain tumors, such as diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs). In her most-cited work, a single-institution case series published in 2021, she demonstrated that ETV can effectively manage life-threatening hydrocephalus while reducing the risks of hardware infection and mechanical failure associated with shunts. This study, with 6 citations, has helped shift clinical perspectives toward safer, hardware-free solutions for these vulnerable patients. Prajapati’s research is notable for its direct impact on improving quality of life and surgical outcomes in pediatric neuro-oncology. Her work underscores a commitment to advancing evidence-based, patient-centered care, and she continues to influence the field through her focus on palliative neurosurgical techniques that prioritize both efficacy and safety.
