About
Faycal El Majdoub is a neurosurgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of stereotactic neurosurgery, robotics, and neuroimaging. He has made significant contributions to the advancement of robot-assisted deep brain stimulation (DBS), a field that demands exceptional precision in targeting subcortical brain structures for the treatment of movement disorders and other neurological conditions. His most influential work, a 2018 comparative study garnering 77 citations, rigorously evaluated robot-assisted versus conventional frame-based DBS surgery, helping to establish the clinical viability of robotic guidance systems as a sophisticated alternative to traditional mechanical approaches. Complementing this, his 2017 research on intensity-based 2D/3D image registration provided a methodological framework for improving intraoperative lead localization accuracy — a critical step in ensuring surgical success. More recently, El Majdoub extended the application of robotic stereotaxy into rare pathology, reporting the first robot-assisted stereotactic shunting for a pontine glioependymal cyst, demonstrating the versatility of these techniques beyond DBS. Collectively, his body of work reflects a commitment to translating technological innovation into safer, more precise neurosurgical practice.
