About
Dr. Emma Losito is a pioneering pediatric neurosurgeon whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for the most complex conditions in children. Her primary research centers on the application of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) in pediatric neurosurgery, a field where she has established herself as a leading European voice. Dr. Losito’s major contribution is her comprehensive, single-center retrospective analysis of 41 consecutive LITT procedures, a landmark study that provides crucial safety and efficacy data for this emerging technology in a pediatric population. This work, which has already garnered 2 citations since its publication in 2025, demonstrates that MRI-guided LITT is a safe and effective alternative to traditional microsurgery for treating epilepsy and brain tumors in children, helping to pave the way for broader adoption across Europe. By meticulously documenting outcomes from one of the few European centers utilizing this technique, Dr. Losito is directly shaping clinical protocols and offering new, less invasive hope to young patients and their families.
