About
Enrique Ferrer is a leading figure in pediatric functional neurosurgery, specializing in the application of robotic-assisted techniques for movement disorders and epilepsy. His major contributions center on demonstrating the safety, precision, and clinical utility of frameless robot-assisted stereotactic surgery in children, a population where anatomical and technical challenges are magnified. In his seminal 2018 work on pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) for pediatric hyperkinetic movement disorders, Ferrer validated the Neuromate stereotactic robot’s accuracy, reporting excellent electrode placement and promising short-term clinical results (36 citations). That same year, he published a pivotal study on frameless robot-assisted stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for refractory pediatric epilepsy, proving its high accuracy and practical usefulness in localizing epileptogenic zones (32 citations). Ferrer’s work has been instrumental in shifting pediatric functional neurosurgery away from rigid frame-based systems toward more flexible, robot-guided approaches, improving patient comfort and procedural efficiency. His research, consistently cited by peers, provides the evidence base for adopting these technologies in specialized pediatric centers, directly impacting the surgical management of children with otherwise debilitating neurological conditions.
