About
Fabian Winter is a pioneering researcher in the field of neurosurgical robotics, with a primary focus on developing minimally invasive techniques for epilepsy surgery. His major contributions center on the design and validation of a navigated, robot-driven laser craniotomy system, which replaces the traditional handheld electric drill for creating precise bone channels during depth electrode implantation. This innovation is critical for stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), a procedure used to map epileptic foci. Winter’s work has demonstrated the feasibility and safety of this approach through a series of landmark studies, including a cadaver lab investigation (13 citations) and an in vivo animal model study (9 citations), which established the method’s potential for clinical translation. His most recent work, an advanced cutting strategy study (4 citations), further refines the system by integrating optical coherence tomography and cold ablation laser osteotomes to enhance cut-through detection and procedural accuracy. With a cumulative impact of over 26 citations across his core publications, Winter is recognized as a key innovator in robot-assisted neurosurgery, bridging the gap between engineering and clinical practice to improve patient outcomes in epilepsy treatment.
